Dave, Almost forgot, Surplus Gizmos has a range of box headers and keyed IDE-type connectors (no idea what the real name is), and ribbon cable.
I bought some 25-conductor cable for $0.25/ft and some 20-pin headers for $0.55/each (I stripped off the 5 outer conductors because surplus gizmos never has a perfect match!). You basically press fit the pointy teeth of the connector on to the cable until the retaining clip snaps in place, and then solder the header to the board. Another very cheap and fast solution. -p Picture: On Thu, Aug 28, 2014 at 5:50 PM, David Madden <[email protected]> wrote: > Does anybody have favorite wire-to-board connectors?
