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?
Regards

IDC (insulation displacement connectors) I havent been able to find all of them cheap, but i did get some from inside of junk computers.if you know a cheap sourdce post it would you?
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.
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?
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
I order some SIL connectors last night.
How long 'til Futurelec is out of stock? ;)
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)
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.
