I have a piece of equipment that uses a 14-pin cable to connect the
front panel LCD to the mainboard, using a flat ribbon cable of this type: https://media.digikey.com/Photos/Molex/0982660435.jpg With friction-fit contacts on the end. The original has degraded over 35 years and gotten brittle and the "pins" have started to lift. However all the 14-pin ribbon cables I can straightforwardly pull up of this type have a very narrow pitch and overall width, and are no good for this application it's more like something you'd use in a modern laptop. I don't know the exact pitch for the pins on the OEM cable but the 14-pin ribbon cable itself is the better part of 2 inches wide. Anyone still sell a cable like this? |
