[ICOM] pin size on Molex connector

Be also mindful of the small size and current rating difference between the Icom pins and the aftermarket pins of other vendors. While they appear to fit and look the same, they are not, due to tolerances. The Icom pins have a higher current rating.

If you have a model airplane/hobby shop close, take the plug and match up to the right size brass tubing. 1/27 th the cost of the tool you use one every six years and can't find when you need it.
