gerald.wert Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 https://www.ebay.com/itm/10-Pin-2x5-2-54mm-Box-Header-IDC-Male-Socket-Straight-Lot-of-5/191660569998?hash=item2c9fdc358e:g:lEUAAOSwuTxV8Guu The female are for the cable side.

goyousalukis Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) The part numbers for Reichelt are PFL 10 and PFL 16. I tried to post a link, but it didn't work. Edited March 26, 2018 by goyousalukis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goyousalukis Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 But like Gerald said, check out ebay, amazon, etc. I got mine at Amazon in sets of 10 for cheaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerald.wert Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Yes there are some sellers that sell a whole kit with both connectors and a bit of ribbon cable for great pricing. Or just the connectors. It is good to have spares. I always make a cable backwards or decide to move or add something. Also sometimes you just make a bad one that does not work right. Great to have a spare and not have to pay shipping again for just 1 more. Raechelt has pretty good pricing but ebay, amazon often beats them by a lot on these parts and the other pin header kits. The gold plated ones should never have corrosion issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psykhaze Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) More generally these are called IDC or IPC connectors : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulation-displacement_connector .Depending on the "Pitch" , aka pin spacing , you will have different connectors (male/socket/Pinheader +female IDC on wire) . Traditional pin headers used in previous MBHP design have a pitch of 2.54mm/1mm imperial, wich is also the pitch of traditional DIP (through-hole) components. Most of MBHP pinheaders connectors are 2x05 so you can run a search with something like "2x05 IPC connector 2.54" or "2x05 ipc socket 2.54" Some common brands for connectors are Harwin,Samtec,Molex and Amphenol (at least i have some good experience with their products) But a search on Aliexpress/Ebay/Tayda might give you cheaper results Regards, Jerome Edited March 27, 2018 by Psykhaze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
