#6269 — DIP IDC

I have need for 8-pin IDC DIP headers. In other words, a ribbon
cable IDC connector that plugs into a 8-pin IC socket.

Now, I can find IDC males that are 0.1 pin spacing, 0.1 row
spacing,for $0.50~$1.00 easily.

But when I need one in DIP spacing (0.1 x 0.3) they are either
$4.00+ <https://www.mouser.com/productdetail/571-746611-7>
OR the supplier wants $18 to ship one.
<https://store.sacelec.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=9451>

Anyone found a better source?

(Then there's the issue of one end of the cable having Pin 1 be
the #1 ribbon conductor, the other end wanting that conductor to
terminate on its pin 6.)

Could you whip up a bunch of little PCB adapters? Pads for the cheap IDC 
males on one side, pads for some thick durable pins to slot into the DIP 
sockets on the other (that also route the conductors appropriately)?

The pins on the one in the second link look like they were designed to 
be soldered once permanently to a PCB. They won't survive too many 
insertion-removal cycles. If they don't need to be cycled then the 
question is why have the sockets there at all.

Zero clearance on the DIP end. It's under something else.

The sockets on both ends, the 8-pin DIP & the 2x4 0.1 IDC are on
existing boards. I wish the 2x4 was male headers, and I may be
able to get a special order on them so it will be, but the DIP
is on the PLC itself.

I suppose I should know what PLC stands for but I don't.
"Programmable logic controller" doesn't seem to make much sense
here. "Portland lesbian choir" has a nice ring to it but I don't
think this is it either...

I think he means the first context but the "PLC" is a board comprised of 
many components which make up the functionality of the PLC.

Thanks; they are more reasonable. I bought a bunch to see how they look.

Let us know the results! I would like to find the 4 stepped row type of 
PCB to IDC ribbon cable connector at a reasonable price. Used in 1980s 
Williams pinball and video arcade games...

    How about a link to a clear photo of one?

Fair enough - photos of 40 pin ribbon connector to staggered row PCB mount:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lq93garyj90gcb5/AAAkft1vBz28dL3kiqHzLElRa?dl=0

Tiny URL version:

I haven't actually spent much time looking recently as they are needed 
rarely, but hey, maybe someone has seen them around and I can get enough 
to do the next twenty years of service...

Thanks,

    3M makes them. I see them in other equipment fairly often:

Correction, 3M MADE them. Discontinued in 2014. So I need to stock up!

    Can you use used ones, with the ribbon cable still in them? I think 
that I may have some on junk boards from other equipment that I can lift 
with a solder pot. I have to find help to clean out the building where a 
ton of scrap PC boards fill dozens of Banana boxes. I scrapped a load of 
industrial printers that I think used the 40 pin version.

    Check the usual surplus dealers, and Ebay now that you have the 
proper name and a part number.

Not such an easy task -- Allied Electronics has ZERO stock for ALL pin
counts i.e. they have NONE at all.

It is not a catastrophe if I can't find them, in 99% of cases they come 
apart and can be cinched properly on fresh ribbon wire.

I do have junk boards with some of those connectors in an emergency. It 
is preferred to provide customers with new rather than used product 
where possible.

Thanks,

Strange, RS-online (which SFAIK is the same company) lists 31 in stock.

Also Winchester electronics (the brand in the photo) is still making 
connectors, dunno if they are still making that one

there's also this one:

https://b2b.harting.com/ebusiness/en/SEK-19-40-4-M-S32-AU-KONTAKT/09190409643


And there's one from Tyco to I think.

The US wing is called Allied Electronics. 31 in stock at RS-online means
those are in UK (or somewhere else) so Allied can request those and have
them delivered to the US in 10 days.

That also means that 10 days is _NOT_ a factory lead time; it is just how
long would it take to ship the remaining 31 to a particular country. In
other words those 31 is all they have and all wings of RS Online and their
partners refer to that same remaining lot of 31. Once those are sold there
will be no more available anywhere among RS online and friends -- not in 10
days or at all. Those are leftover parts.
