This is a simple four wire cable. Great for jumping from board to board or just about anything else. There is a 4-pin Molex connector with 0.1" spacing on one end, bare cable on the opposite end. It also comes with the mating connector for the Molex.
This skill defines how difficult the soldering is on a particular product. It might be a couple simple solder joints, or require special reflow tools.
Skill Level: Noob - Some basic soldering is required, but it is limited to a just a few pins, basic through-hole soldering, and couple (if any) polarized components. A basic soldering iron is all you should need.

I'm not sure how to convey this but these are my Sparkfun guilty pleasure, one might go as far as saying I'm addicted to them. They are just so convenient, my project(s) keep ending up needing more and I keep finding myself searching for other things to buy along with them just to justify purchasing a few more :P
Do you carry the ends and the connectors only? I have a project I would like to build my own cables.
does anyone have the length and width of the male portion for these connectors? making my pcb in eagle and I need to know if there is enough room. maybe someone could break out their calipers and measure the 4, 5, & 6 pin ones? thanks
We have the part in our SparkFun Eagle Library
I would like to note that these are not the same type of connector as found in PC "4-wire" fans. those are both-ways compatible with a Molex 3-Wire connector (the connector is 4 wire, but the retaining clip is sized to fit with a 3-wire connector)
The "Datasheet" link above has an extra space character in its URL between the "Prototyping/" and "2pin_molex_set...". i.e. it should be "http://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Prototyping/2pin_molex_set_19iv10.pdf" instead of "http://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Prototyping/ 2pin_molex_set_19iv10.pdf".
Also, what are the Molex part number for the connectors? Or, alternately, how much current can they carry?
Fixed.
24 awg can carry around 0.57A.
Thanks much!
