> someone would have come up with a way to prototype cable > connectors/ends. Was thinking of something similar last week. As part of a project I'm making polyester resin parts using silicone molds. One of the parts is to mate a cable with an odd-shaped receptacle and the thought occured to me that it would be easy to make connectors by embedding pins/sockets into resin. Polyester is pretty tough, although it's not the best to tap, but threads or nuts can be added to the mold if a backshell style was needed --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
