Connectors for modules to power bus?

Wild Zebra

I've been trying to find these buggers. Sometimes mouser can be alittle overwhelming. I just need your standard regular male/female, 3 prongs (+ o -)

thanks

Sorry I don't have part #, but one common one (Blacet, MOTM, etc) is MTA .156. I don't know the euro ones. Euro'n your own. Rolling Eyes

I use .156 Molex on PCBs that "need" them, like Ken Stone's.
I use .1 Molex for my power bus.

Both from Futurlec.

i use ribbon cable connectors 16pol like AS/Doepfer (i like the idea of a cv/gate bus). i solder the ribbon cables directly to the PCBs:

Hey, Matthias --- those ribbon connectors multipole plugs --> are they easy to put together? Do you need a special tool? Do you just push ribbon cable in and push down? Any stripping needed?
