Default Strobe Connector Pin Size?

Most of the strobe systems i have seen use AMP Mate-N-Lock / Molex type connectors, does anyone know which pin size is used in these connectors? .062 or .093?

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure the nominal size of my Creative Air strobe pins, and most all other (large) molex power pins are size .090 (Whelen tail strobe). I do have some .062 in my parts inventory, they are significantly different and rarely used.

Thanks guys!

I must admit, I was a touch puzzled by the diffences in your answers, so I dug a bit deeper.

I was operating under the assumption that AMP Mate-n-lock and Molex connectors were interchangeable/compatible. That assumption was incorrect. The pins on the AMP connectors are .084 while the Molex brand pins are either .062 or .093.

Thanks!
