Rodolfo, these pins are very useful. Do you know where I can buy a set of them?

That vendor did carry the exact pins used in our stock round pin connectors. But now they sell another pin and they really don't work for the OEM connectors. If you get the new connector shells then the new pins fit those and mate fine to OEM connectors.
You can see only one locking finger on those new pins. The length of the pins are a little shorter and the crimp ends will only work with 16 AWG or smaller wire.

Hell, if it now requires swapping the whole connector, than it is better to go with another manufacturer. I like to use connectors from TE Connectivity (aka Tyco)...

These new pins are made by AMP. Only place I have seen the old pins are some ads on eBay overseas. The old pins are getting higher prices since they are getting hard to get.
