Connectors, terminals, cable assemblies

OVERALL RATING:

http://www.jst.com 

Basic in nature, this site satisfactorily serves as an online catalog. The Crimp Inspection Chart looks handy—download or print it from the sub menu after it loads. Browse products by connector category, alpha list, by 8 pre-selected features; or, search by part number. Product data is ample, but in some cases suffers slightly in translation. Customize cable assemblies using the Harness Maker, which nicely segues into an RFQ. Some helpful items, in the form of Product Training Modules and Product Precautions, are offered for download. The site exhibits some odd, but not show stopping, behavior in IE6 but is fine in IE7. An interactive selector and online ordering would definitely boost the rating.
