I need a couple of dozen of these, but I don't know what to call them.

You know those twisted pair wires on a DIP header?

Like the ones used to connect LEDs and switches to a computer motherboard?

I've been googling all over creation, but lack the definitive term to
describe them.

Anybody out there have a clue? Or a box full of 'em?

That's certainly a possibility, Winston.
But I have in my mind the little wiring gizzies that are already assembled.

I USED TO HAVE A ZILLION OF THEM.

You could -- but the usual ones used as described have
individual crimp pins on the wires which slip and lock into the
connector body.

The proper crimp tools tend to be expensive -- unless you luck
out in an eBay auction -- including lucking into finding the right ones
for the terminals in questions.

http://documents.tycoelectronics.com...=CD&DocLang=EN

These, also, should be available with crimp-on pins instead of
solder tails. They should be somewhere close by the others in the
DigiKey catalog.

Enjoy,

I just placed the order with Amazon for 10 at .75 each.
That still seems high to me, but I saw them for over $12 on some sites.
Even MicroCenter (whom I respect) wanted up to $6 a pop.

The real kicker was an Amazon seller wo wanted $.29 each!
But the shipping was $54.90!!!
WTF???

These were 10 cent items.
Until I wanted them.

Have you noticed how stuff that used to be easily available has
suddenly become unavailable?
Or outrageously expensive???

The 21st Century was supposed to be better than the 20th.

Wasn't it?

If this is a "one-sie" (limited quantity) deal, you might try:

http://www.jameco.com/

Connector Housing SKT 2 Position 2.54mm Straight Bag
#100812 $2.50/10
Connector Housing SKT 4 Position 2.54mm Straight Bag
#100803 $1.50/10
Connector Contact PIN 1 Position Crimp Straight Cable Mount Reel
#100766 $1.50/10

You'll still need a crimp tool to add wires. If all you need is
short jumpers, you could try these:

Premium Female/Female Jumper Wires - 40 x 6" $6.00
https://www.adafruit.com/products/266

but this is a (splittable) ribbon cable with 1x1 connectors. If you
absolutely needed 1x2 and 1x4 ends you could (carefully) pry the
tiny "sockets" out of the 1x1s and insert them into 1x2 and 1x4
housings.

Hope this helps...

The march of Providence is so slow and our desires so impatient; the
work of progress is so immense and our means of aiding it so feeble;
the life of humanity is so long, that of the individual so brief,

I got it very cheap. A local liquidator is closing down, and they
had a pallet of them for under $10. The long cable that connects it to
the radio is the same as a PS/2 keyboard, so I grabbed one. Then I
remembered you and your boat and thought I'd offer it to you if you
could use it.

IDC version. Cheap at only $5.13 (Each!)

The problem seems to be coming up with the proper name that the
*catalog* uses. For this, really, a dead-tree catalog is easier to use
than the search-engine based ones.

Here is a way too long URL (sorry) which leads to a Molex page
which shows the crimp pins and the connectors. What you want are the SL
series. The pins come in three styles. I would use the crimp ones, but
others might be better for you.

The SL Housing style you want for this is the 'A' version, 2
pin. You can have the fun of searching for these in the catalogs -- or
the web presence if the catalogs are not available.

Of course -- there are other brands, this was th efirst that I
found using a bit too long a search string.

You know those twisted pair wires on a DIP header?

You could -- but the usual ones used as described have
individual crimp pins on the wires which slip and lock into the
connector body.

The proper crimp tools tend to be expensive -- unless you luck
out in an eBay auction -- including lucking into finding the right ones
for the terminals in questions.

These, also, should be available with crimp-on pins instead of
solder tails. They should be somewhere close by the others in the
DigiKey catalog.

Bit better. 0.89 each. Not including pins, application crimper.

Yes -- those are what I was thinking of. You've already noted
that the contacts are extra purchases -- and you get to select in
contact material (gold plating is more reliable, but tin is a lot
cheaper, even given how little gold is actually used. And you have to
pick one which crimps onto the wire size you need.

And the PDF link is to the catalog page -- what I would have
preferred to use for the search anyway. :-)

Good Luck,
DoN.

Very good, DoN.

More like the SL FFC types.
Don't need the secure locking features of the others.

Note the housings, pins and crimpers are all here on one page:

Though sometimes I think I could grow the tree, pulp it and print the
page on the resulting paper faster than the webpage loads...

I just placed the order with Amazon for 10 at .75 each.
That still seems high to me, but I saw them for over $12 on some sites.
Even MicroCenter (whom I respect) wanted up to $6 a pop.

The real kicker was an Amazon seller wo wanted $.29 each!
But the shipping was $54.90!!!
WTF???

These were 10 cent items.
Until I wanted them.

Have you noticed how stuff that used to be easily available has
suddenly become unavailable?
Or outrageously expensive???

The 21st Century was supposed to be better than the 20th.

Wasn't it?


The value of the dollar has been falling faster than a suicidal
Leftwinger who jumps to his death 20 minutes after the 2012 election
results are announced.

Check Ebay for the difference between the British pound and the dollar.
Its getting worse and worse.

This is the sort of thing "computer shows" would be perfect for. I
haven't seen an ad for one in a long time, however.

The Dallas "First Saturday" flea market / show has been going on now
for well over 30 years. Since the 70s in fact, so nearly 40 years?
http://www.sidewalksale.com/



I'm planning to go down for it on the 5th (assuming my pay check comes in)
(assuming the government is still solvent then?)

I sold a lot of surplus stuff there 30 years ago.
One day, the guy next to me had a kitchen sink...


I need to get several things, but have to watch nickels and dimes.
(pennies get sold for scrap metal value these days)

A couple of LED monitors for this desktop box (will have three then )
One will do double duty as target system debug display, but I got spoiled
(damned quick too) by a multi screen machine a while back.
It's just too nice to have a couple of pages of reference stuff up where
you can just glance at it.

Wish list"
a small oscilloscope ( 20 mhz dual trace will be fine for what I'm doing)
Some small passive parts - Rs an Cs and sockets and such,
a selection of small solenoids,
and, if I can find one, a piano hammer.

How about a hamfest?

search by state

Not as many as there used to be, but always had lotsa electronics
stuff and junk, usually for cheap. New radios and other new
equipment for reasonable prices.
