what size crimp connectors would I need to hook them up to the microswitches of my pushbuttons?

Are thes 2,8 or 4,8 or 6,3 mm?

As I am not at home at the moment I cannot measure them and as I`m ordering some online the correct size would be nice :)

6.3 will do.

Why you're buying this stuff online (and not at your local store) is beyond me though...

actually 6,3 mm? wow I thought they would be smaller :)

but anyway it`s relatively cheap online and they deliver at work so it`s really easy.

100 of these connectors delivered personally for about 11 euro`s is a nice price I think :)

I have microswitches of different manufacturers and the terminals are all 6.35mm (.250"). Happ sticks come with such terminals, although 4.8mm (.187") are also available:

Better check your own if you're unsure. In any case, the bigger ones will plug into smaller terminals (not the best connection though)

well, I guess I`ll take the 6.3 then, if they are too big I`ll have learned for my next project :)

I used this connectors:

I can't remember the size, but I think they were a bit too big so I "stretched" them a bit to make a tighter contact.

The 6.3mm are fine for the switches but are just a little bit to big for the joystick connectors.
So I guess a nice 4.8mm will do for those.
