Use a 1.1-inch mix 31, Fair-Rite 2631801202. Also great for USB cables and
other small wires. However… Good luck finding any. Out of stock at Mouser and
Arrow, but you can keep looking. A secondary choice is a 1.4-inch mix 41,
Fair-Rite 2643802702. Those are in stock. Either type costs around $2 in small
quantities.
