List,
Some of my avionics have molex connectors and I know Bob is an advocate of
wire support just outside or as part of the crimp. The molex pins for the
20-22 awg wiring seem awfully fragile. the crimps comprise two parts, which I
assume are to grip the wire and then the insulation. However, these appear
flimsy and would seem prone to vibration damage. Unlike D-Subs, they do not have a
cover with secondary support. Am I worrying about nothing or is there
something else I'm missing ? Any advice always a plus, and thanks...

When you say "molex" it's not very definitive. "Molex" is to
connectors as "GM" is to cars. What you're describing seems
to be b-crimp, sheet metal pins. If these are installed with
the right tool, they're quite satisfactory. Molex and AMP have
both supplied a variety of b-crimp connectors to aviation for
over 40 years with good service histories. I wouldn't advise
any worrying.
