monokinetic Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Hi all,BTW payc thanks for your message re the rectifier from my previous topic.Another question for all, I cant find anywhere details of the connectors as used in various ucapps fotos (ie the lcd page) for ribbon cable. I have lots of sil headers but no connector for the ribbon cable. Does anyone know what they are called so I can find them in my catalogue?RegardsDave M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamjking Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 http://www.futurlec.com/ConnHead.shtml is a good source for the SIL connectors. Scroll down the page until you get to "Connectors for Headers - Single Row". Be sure to order the pins as well - the pins attach to the wire and are then inserted into the connectors.

arumblack Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 woah, that is totaly the page i've been looking for, never could find single row connectors so cheap! I am guessing it is the female pins we would want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamjking Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Yep, from the page (http://www.futurlec.com/Connectors/HDCONNS2.shtml):Requires Header Pins (HDPINF).These connectors are great, saves having to solder wires directly to the board/pin.Looks like they've also got cheap ($0.25 each) IDC sockets: http://www.futurlec.com/ConnIDC.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 I order some SIL connectors last night.How long 'til Futurelec is out of stock? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arumblack Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 awesome. do the pins crimp on to the wires, or must you solder them.also polarized connectors, so you can't put them on back ward.(you need the polarised header too)http://www.futurlec.com/Connectors/POLHDCON2.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamjking Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 I *think* they can be just crimpped on, but I always add a drop of solder to be sure, and crimp the top of the pins to the wire jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
