Title: wire connectors
Post by: deadmoney5 on December 03, 2005, 03:35:31 pm

Hey all,

I am gonna connect a p360 to my ipaq board now that I know where to connect the ground and 5v wires.

My question is what kind of connector do I use to connect the wire to the pins?

It must be a pretty small connector!!

and since I am already using the ground pin for the illuminated trackball, I assume I can just splice the ground from the P360 into the same pin connector?

The pin header on the Ipac uses .100 pin spacing - the same as the pinout on an IDE cable and the same as the pin headers on your motherboard that you connect the power & reset switches to. 

An easy solution to use is a spare CD-Rom internal audio cable.  The connector on that is the correct spacing.
