Title: looking for IDC connector
Post by: Admin on July 29, 2011, 04:00:23 PM
I'm looking for an IDC connector just like this:
http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/TE-Connectivity-AMP/1658621-6/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtsLRyDR9nM18mJd%252baLxMG9ybjysyQIigo%3d (http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/TE-Connectivity-AMP/1658621-6/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtsLRyDR9nM18mJd%252baLxMG9ybjysyQIigo%3d)
(http://www.mouser.com/images/tycoelectronics/lrg/prrcc08a.jpg)

However, it must be single row, and have 5, 8, and 12 connections (three different types). Basically a connector that connects directly to a ribbon cable.

It must be bought from either Digikey or Mouser . . . anyone know what it's called or know how to find it?

For the 5 position, this would be perfect, except I'm not allowed to order from China . . .

Hi,

Single Row IDC Sockets
Mouser's got them (http://dk.mouser.com/Search/Refine.aspx?Keyword=Single+Row+IDC+Socket) in 4, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 22 and 25 ways in 0.1" pitch it seems, but perhaps it's different when entering from an US IP (as they force the "dk" hostname for me and I have to proxy my way to get what you will see). Anyway, they'll surely appreciate a call :)

Too bad you are restricted, or you could get what you need from Toby (http://www.toby.co.uk/content/catalogue/products.aspx?series=A04a-xx-Bx1-G) in England.

Hey admin, I just found 6 pin and 10 pin ones at sparkfun (by accident actually).

EDIT:  Wait... I read the thread again, these are not single row, nor do they match any of your specifications.  I need to go to bed.   :P
