    Thoughts On This Connector?

    I was thinking of throwing it in with unclean fingers but I don't know. Seems too high grade to go with connectors.

    that's an adapter, fingers on one side, pins on the other. Probably should go with a higher grade than simple connectors, but I'm not sure how you'd place it

    just a little bit like $80 a pound for that grade of pins, i would use the technique i use for floppy drive connectors: put it on a hard surface put some thick fabric over it them proceed to beat it to bits, you will still have to do some hand processing /sorting but saves alot of time, also you can put it in the freezer to make the plastic more brittle and the method more effective
