I have been searching for 2 pin connectors that can be used for connecting to the pins of L.E.D's . I've been using the plug from old phone battery connectors by simply soldering some additional length. Any other simple ideas?

Pierre,

Welcome to this forum,

The smaller molex pin connectors work for LEDs too.

Will a female Molex 0.062 receptacle work?

Steven, Where do you find a 2 leg transistor socket?
