Does anyone have a Molex part number for Digikey for the bendix/king style connectors?

I have 1721601805 but not sure if that is a good one or not.
 
Yes, I figure there is a part from Digikey or Mouser that isn’t $3 per unit. Maybe I’m wrong.
 
FWIW, this is what I have saved from 2010 - don't recall where I got this, and Mouser no longer has them in stock.

"Icom, Narco and others use a Molex edge card receptacle for their rack
mounted units. My Icom A200 radio came with a supply of crimp on
terminals, listed on the Icom instructions as "MOLEX terminal
4366-gl". 4366 is not a part number, it's a "series" number. If you
bugger a few of these up, you'll come up short and will need to order
some more. You might even want to get some to practice with before
you begin your installation.
The MOLEX manufacturer's number for these crimp terminals is
08-03-0304. You can use either "4366" or "08-03-0304" to find them on
their web site at <molex.com>. There are a number of suppliers out
there who carry them. DIGIKEY did not have them in stock, but they
can get them. MOUSER's did have 'em in stock; their part number is
538-08-03-0304. You do not need a commercial account to place an
order with them at <mouser.com>."

Nope. That's how much they cost. And, they seem to be getting harder and harder to find.

Be careful about using look-alike pins. Molex made a couple of similar looking pins that aren't quite long enough to work with the King radios. If you buy some of those, compare the overall length and the length from the tip to the locking tab to one of the original pins.
