Have you guys seen that the connectors that are used on the MD5's & MC4x are Obsolete, or going to become Obsolete soon.    What is the long term plan for these connectors, as these were just released?  Have you talked with Molex to support these longer? 
 
Just trying to plan ahead, as we mfg harnesses to support these parts. And need to know if I need to buy and stock a lot of these so we don't run into supply issues.

There is a post about this listed under the hardware category:

Molex have changed the way the dress cover clips in - so all the part numbers have changed.

The transition to new part numbers means the usual suppliers are low on stock so there will be some pain until mid 2026 I suspect.

Thank you, I did not see that post.
