Need help locating a connector

[DennisCNC]

I have been looking and looking and can't find anyone that sells a mating connector like this. It is ~1.8mm pitch double row. I'm about to solder some wires to this thing and put D-sub parallel port and 15pin VGA connector on to it.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks

Also Try calling MOUSER Electronics 800-346-6873

Talk to one of their EE's, they are very helpfull and will find exactly what you need!
They have NO minimum orders, so you can order just one little connector!

I have done business with them, they are pro's in ever respect!

Find AMP....they make metric connectors.

^^ Emailed AMP and they said they don't have anything like that.

I think the connectors you need are called IDC, not sure what it stands for tho!

They usually connect to flat ribbon cables!

If you have had no luck so far, try www.digi-key.com, they like mouser have a book they can send you as well, its handy to have layin around

Those connectors are 2mm. It's very common nowadays. Digikey sells 2mm idc headers. I actually have a set of connectors (made by hirose) for that amp in my hand as I type this. Sorry, no part number. I'm a little annoyed at API, the connector part number is not in the manual as far as a 5 minute scan will reveal.

I have bought individual pin 2mm idc headers. If digikey has a built up cable, I suggest you go with that unless you have incredible dexterity. I've always just searched for 2mm

My thought is you measured the distance between the two ends of the 24 pin connector and divided by 12, mostly because I make that mistake all the time. This give you a pin spacing of 1.8 mm. You should divide by 11, giving the correct 2mm.

^^Why can't it be simple!! Thanks a lot for the info!! Finaly light at the end.

Looks like it is the DF11 Series Hirose.

I think you meant DF11, which looks correct

Have you ever figured out anything about the software for these drives?
