Optiwiz connectors - where to buy.
<< < (2/2)

Aren't these just dual row headers (0.1" spacing) just like an IDE cable?  I thought that was the whole point in that you can just grab an old IDE cable and start wiring away.

You can get them on ebay from Hong Kong:
4 pin header connector
8 pin header connector

If you go with this style you'll need a crimper as well like This one

After looking again, I'm wondering if the no-solder version is just the solder board with the pin strip installed?  Maybe I'm thinking of the earlier version that used to have a dual row of pins for the no-solder version.   :dunno

Two rows of .1" on center connections.  Ribbon cable connectors work fine, as do many other sources (a number of them mentioned in this thread) for .1" on center female connectors.

I found some connectors from Allied Electronics (http://www.alliedelec.com/) that will work but before doing so I went down to the local computer store and they gave me a ton of connectors for free that they ripped from junked computers.  It seems I have several options.  Thanks all.
