They are a bit better than the standard ones because they have a locking mechanism similar to the ones on the ATX power connector. Hope this helps?

Putting them together is the easy part. They just snap in. Getting them out requires a special extractor tool. The tools look like metal syringes and cost $8 each. The other part that can be difficult is crimping the pins onto the wire. You can use pliers, but that can get messy. I use a electrical connector crimpers. They are also sold by Jameco or can be bought at any hardware store.

The problem I am having with my project is I am trying to crimp the pins onto 2 18 gage wires and they barely fit. I don't think you will have this problem, so you should be able to put a connector on in about 3 minutes.
