[Amps] Molex Pins

[K5WW Live]

It looks like I signed up for this email group at the right time!

I was about to order a Molex connector and the pins at Mouser to replace the 
24 pin connector on the back of my IC-2KL (P/N 538-03-06-1241 and 
538-02-06-1132).

An old message on this list by Joe W4TV mentions that this connector is made 
by Molex; but now it seems like I better use some caution ordering them.

Does anyone here know for sure if those parts would be a good replacement?

Thanks, 73,

Erik - K5WW
