How to know if connectors include crimp contacts?

Question

I know this is a very basic question, but still is a doubt I have...

When searching farnell for connectors how does one know if crimp contacts are included with connectors? I'd think most wheren't, but also read some are. Shouldn't there be a field (column) in connectors to state that?

In my particular case I'm looking at Multicomp MC34 RECEPTACLE http://pt.farnell.com/multicomp/mc34351/receptacle-free-6way/dp/1578142 , but the general question still holds.

Sorry for this simple question, hope somebody can enlighten me.

Best Regards

G,

On a connector like that, you have to purchase pins along with it. Every single receptacle or din cable I have used go this route. This is so companies do not purchase more than they need.

I think it is not a fair sales model for consumers. I once bought a 8 pin CPC connector and had to buy the pins at 50 cents each. I immediately searched for a fully assembled cable. I found one that was half the price of the original.
