not quite the part i am looking for would solder on my circuit board and would fit between the two connectors you mention a female type socket with longer pins (like wire wrap pins) where the ribbon cable fits on the pins sticking out on the solder side ----- Original Message ----- From: "j h" To: Sent: Monday, May 10, 2004 8:50 PM Subject: Re: [EE:] what is this connector > What you descrive sounds like an IDC(insulation displacement connector) It sounds like you want to have the female on ribbon cable, Search for a "socket connector". > > In the digi-key caralog I havn't seen any connectors smaller than 10 connection. > > If you want .1"x.1" spacing (Standard Ringboard) checkout A26267-ND and MSC10A-ND on digikey.
