I have quite a few RGB LEDs to wire up for a project and I want to be able to plug the four LED legs into a socket, something like a four terminal of [this]. I have been looking at a few websites like digikey but i'm not sure exactly what sections I should be looking in. What is this type of thing called, a header pin cable? There seems to be a few similar products but with different names. I think the pitch of the LED pins is approx 1.27mm (0.050") Does anyone know where I might find something like this? |

That looks like a standard 0.1" pitch connector. Doesn't look like something specific for LEDs. Same thing you would use to plug the power button, hard drive led, etc into a PC motherboard. I'm not having any luck finding a similar 0.05" connector at the usual places. |

If you follow the link they are advertised as LED holder/sockets but you are right they do look like/are the common JST etc connectors. I had been looking for connectors at some places but like you I wasn't coming up with much, I thought I may have just been looking for the wrong thing but if you can't find anything either then I may be SOL. --- Quote from: Ginsu Victim on March 24, 2010, 11:21:32 am --- --- Quote from: HarumaN on March 24, 2010, 11:00:58 am ---hmmmmmmmmmm --- End quote --- Yes, I made the same sound. --- End quote --- Nothing to see here, more along please ;) |
