Thanks,

I am a retired EE. Some of you may have seen some of my work. Disneyland.

I buy a lot of parts from Mouser and DigiKey. I was trying to find out what series of connectors these are.

Re: Headers / Pins / Crimper Solutions for Off-board Items?
If I get to the PCB stage it's not that difficult to make a custom board, but most of my stuff is one of a kind or some kind of prototype, so figuring out how to set up remote components with headers/pins is desirable. Thanks for the "dupont wires" reference! And thanks for the pix. --Kirk, NT0Z My book, "Stealth Amateur Radio," is now available from

Re: NC40A files
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHey Ryan,I? myself am ok with it as I understand that group dynamics vary from group to group. This is especially true when the group is replacing another group and expectations run high.

Re: Arduino Connectors?
Bob, I have a bunch of sets of the Arduino headers. Each set has 2 - 6 pin, 2 - 8 pin, 1 - 10 pin and 1 - 3 pin double row header. It's more than I'll ever need and would be glad to send you 3 or 4 sets. Don, K5DW On Fri, Nov 8, 2019 at 11:25 AM Bob Macklin <macklinbob@...> wrote:

Re: Headers / Pins / Crimper Solutions for Off-board Items?
Kirk,
Are there header pins with flat bottoms (like tiny patio umbrella stands), or should I take a standard header and bend the "legs" 90 degrees, soldering the now-flat legs to the PCB? You can buy headers that are already 90degrees.? They are fat enough to solder (if you can do SMD you are well qualified. For wires, I buy? "dupont" cables from ebay, individual connectors are already crimped on each end.? I cut the wire (which is really small, the only problem) and solder to the off board part. If you can make boards, I don't know why you don't just design a custom board?? Far easier for me and end result is much better. 73, Gary WB6OGD |
2010 smdBITXv4 kit for sale
Found this on top of the pile. I got this from Elia 2E0ZHN in 2010.
SmdBITX v4 kit: Kit includes board, all and components, 3 toroids, and bag with magnet wire, volume control, and connectors. Instructions were on the yahoo group/BITX20/files/2E0ZHN/smdBITX/ I assume they are available on the groups.io BITX site or via search engine. Asking $60 shipped to USA addresses. Please reply directly and not to the list. Newt N4EWT at ARRL dot NET |
Headers / Pins / Crimper Solutions for Off-board Items?
Hi, gang,
I am planning to do some building / prototyping this winter season and I'm looking for simple solutions to connecting off-PCB controls, LEDs, non-RF jacks, etc. I will be mostly building Manhattan style and surface-mount style in which I will etch or mill a PCB, but all parts will be mounted on the copper side in Manhattan/SMT hybrid style. I'm trying to figure out a workable way to incorporate header pins, singly or in groups of 2-3 adjacent header pins, in this kind of SMT construction style. With through-hole PCBs the drilled holes provide an easy way to mount the header pins. But how do we do this in an SMT/Manhattan style? Are there header pins with flat bottoms (like tiny patio umbrella stands), or should I take a standard header and bend the "legs" 90 degrees, soldering the now-flat legs to the PCB? Assuming I get that issue sorted, can anyone recommend an affordable tool to crimp the pins onto the remote wires? I'm thinking about computer motherboards here, in which the tiny crimped pins are inserted into a plastic header/socket that allows them to be plugged onto the header pins on the motherboard. I think there's also a small "pick tool" that allow the pins to be inserted and removed from the plastic headers? I'm a titch out of date when it comes to these critters, so any insights would be appreciated. Regards, --Kirk, NT0Z ? Rochester, MN |

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI was trying to find the series so I could buy them from Mouser or DigiKey.
?
I want to try them foe some other than Arduino projects.

I have a problem with Arduino shield boards. I work with wire-wrap sockets and it takes several of the sockets to space the boards. Plus there is often not enough space on a shield board to do what I want to do,

Re: Arduino Connectors?
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýBob,If you want them to be stackable (i.e. for Uno shield) make sure the pin ¡°tails¡± are 0.4¡± long. and sells header kits for most of the Arduino boards as do others I¡¯m sure. I have no connection to these companies other than a satisfied customer. Don, K5DW On Nov 8, 2019, at 8:42 AM, Ryan Flowers <geocrasher@...> wrote:

They're just 0.1" pitch headers. You can find them anywhere, but here's a link to some: ? ? Ryan Flowers On Fri, Nov 8, 2019 at 6:24 AM Bob Macklin <macklinbob@...> wrote: What is the series of connectors used on the Arduino PCBs? --
