cimo Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 This is a little hack to make it with 50mil ribbon cable, the ony i could buy locally.I got 50 wires cable but you can do it with different ones.Using Wilba s advices, cut 50mm in lengthThen strip away 5 cables (this will be different if you use a cable with more or less wires)Make a sign 5 mm away from each side and score a little bit in depth (without touching the copper) with a cutter along the line, do the same on both sidesSeparate it in 3 smaller ribbon cables of 15 wires eachBend along the cut lines on both sides and pull the 5mm of plastic 3 or 4 mm onlyPut quickly some solder on the exposed copper, at this point it doesn t matter if there is some in excess Pull off the 5mm of plastic tubesCut every second cableAnd finally quickly move over each exposed wire to fix the tips/remove exceeding solder(sorry no pictures!)Simone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
