John:

You can extract the sockets and squeeze them to make them tighter. A little Deoxit will help, too. Mouser Electronics has the pins, sockets and shells.

Good morning to the list,
This is my first post.  I have a used Ten Tec transceiver with theModel 962 power supply. 
 The power supply cable has 4 heavy wireswhich terminate at a 4 pin Molex connector. When 
I put it on thetranceiver, it sort of "falls " on.  In other words the female 
pins onthe 4 pin cable connector are loose.  Now it stands to reason thatthis is common 
but I don't want to draw high current like this.
My question is should I extract the pins and replace them or is itnormally 
sufficient for high power to use the extractor to form themback a bit ?  Along 
with this question, can anyone recommend a sourcefor these Molex fittings?
Thanks in advance,
John
