Wire can be pretty much anything larger than 24 AWG and smaller than 30 AWG. You can use jacketed cable (the stuff I use is 24 AWG, gray PVC jacket over the conductors) or you can use ribbon cable. Individual conductors work well also. Using the proper crimp tool is important if you want the crimps to be reliable. You will be shocked at the cost of good crimp tools but I'm guessing that there are low-cost versions available somewhere. Otherwise, just use needle-nose pliers to fold the contact wings over the conductor and solder the pin to the wire. Then fold the strain relief wings over the conductor insulation. Time-consuming, but it works. dwayne -- Dwayne Reid Trinity Electronics Systems Ltd Edmonton, AB, CANADA (780) 489-3199 voice (780) 487-6397 fax www.trinity-electronics.com Custom Electronics Design and Manufacturing -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
