If you get to spec both sides and aren't tied to an existing connector what about DIN connectors? http://dkc3.digikey.com/PDF/T042/0260.pdf I first encountered them 20 years ago on VMEbus cards. We had occasional problems with the backplanes but the connectors were sturdy. It was a rough dirty environment on the railroad so I'm sure the dust didn't help. -----Original Message----- From: tony@ELROYNET.COM Sent: Jun 24, 2004 1:07 AM To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: Re: [EE:] Trying to determine part name... Yes, I had done a search at digikey - those parts are similar to what I'm looking for - but not quite right (I said sbus as that was the closest connector I could think of that was similar) - I'm looking for male and female pairs, pcb mount, with ~26 pins, ~44 pins, ~50 pins and ~68 pins. I tried looking in connectors / parallel (which is where that one connector is in for a category), and all I seem to be able to get are centronics type connectors which I could probably make work, but I would prefer pins in a fairly solid connector. I need both verticle mount and right angle mount.... -Tony > Did you search on sbus at Digikey? > > Are those diagrams what you're looking for? > > > -----Original Message----- > From: tony@ELROYNET.COM > Sent: Jun 23, 2004 10:42 PM > To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU > Subject: [EE:] Trying to determine part name... > > Hi All, > > I'm trying to locate a part over on digikey, and I don't know what to > search for.
