Soldering IDC seems to be missing the point? You can use individual crimps in housings. I have used Harwin M20 series. They don't do a 13+13 but you can put them in side-by-side and even glue them together. https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Harwin/M20-1070900?qs=Jph8NoUxIfVsJjhtgmLy%252BQ%3D%3D (plus a 4x4 to fill the header) You also need the terminals (gold plated) https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Harwin/M20-1180042?qs=pYcASEcTDE4r0B52MhViPw%3D%3D I use my smallest W-crimper and that has always worked OK. The factory tool is a bit too spendy. https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Harwin/Z20-320?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtyU1cDF2RqUOtOPkfvlC0EbGCz9sNUj2Q%3D I am not sure that those URLs will work outside my session, but you can find them by part number, the M20-...... part of the URL. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
