  Subject: [EE]: What's this connector called?


  Hi all,

  Looking for a low-cost way to connect 2 PCB's together (20 wires) =
without having to strip the ends of the ribbon cable and solder them to =
the 2 boards.  The connector does not have to be removeable, so it'll be =
soldered the boards, with the ribbon cable crimped on to it.  The =
attached pic shows an ideal part.

  However, I have no idea what this part is called?   I found dip =
headers, but they are "2-piece" devices (unpluggable after =
installation), and that means they're not as low-cost as can be.  Anyone =
know what the part in the pic is called?  Or another connector that =
would meet these requirements?

  Extra-credit:  one of the boards is an actual PCB, and the other is a =
small PCB with a bargraph display.  Is there a socket (female-type) =
device with .3 DIP spacing that has crimp-on connectors for ribbon =
cable?  This would eliminate the PCB altogether, as I could just plug =
the display into the socket end.

  Thanks,
  -Neil.
