I was able to get a catalog from a distributor for DuPont! I also was told by a tech rep at DuPont that their "Mini-Tech Pik-Pak" might contain a connector that would work. I haven't been able to find this sample pack so I can't verify this. Anybody heard of the "pik-pac"? The DuPont distributors have been unable to keep any in stock.
