G’day all - I recently struggled finding the part numbers for the electrical parts needed to connect your tool head wires to the Taz 3-D printer wire bundle. I eventually had a win and wanted to share my adventure with fellow forum users _(lulzbot is awesome but i couldn’t find this info on their website so - “WALLAH!” SUPPLEMENTATION!!")_

After an intense, multi-dimensional google dive _(based on the part number of the pins on the lulzbot heater cartridge [https://www.lulzbot.com/store/parts/24v-40w-heater-cartridge-235mm](https://www.lulzbot.com/store/parts/24v-40w-heater-cartridge-235mm))_, I found a website ([https://itworks3d.com/product/molex-2-row-connector-lulzbot-tool-heads/](https://itworks3d.com/product/molex-2-row-connector-lulzbot-tool-heads/)) that actually listed all the housings, pins and female crimp terminals with specific part numbers!

I was then able to use those wonderful keywords (listed below) to punch in a specific order into the supplier website ([https://www.digikey.com.au/en](https://www.digikey.com.au/en)) without spending zillions of hours filtering an endless confusing list of very similar parts:

- The Housing: “Molex 2x8 double row connector housing” (Molex Part Number 22552161)  
  
  
- The pins: Molex 0016020108 Digikey WM2565-ND (male)  
  
  
- The female terminals: Molex 0016020097 Digikey wm2513-ND (Female))

the odt files in [download.lulzbot.com](http://download.lulzbot.com) list all the part numbers for all the different model of Taz. Look for the ones labled “BOM” or Bill of Materials. Sometimes they are in [devel.lulzbot.com](http://devel.lulzbot.com) as well. You can open those files with Microsoft excel.

Glad we could help! Piercet’s point about the BOMs being your first stop is great- Thank you to LulzBot for sharing!  
We also know that it can be a bit tough to find the right BOM, then find something in the BOM, so we’ve tried to highlight the common parts on our website.  
Another tip to find related parts- do a site search with the known part #, and the related BOMS should turn up in the results.  
The convention for google (spaces are important) is:  
site:devel.lulzbot.com \<part #\>
