Hello,
I am having trouble finding a 10 pin header (2 X 5) the cable, and a
crimper to connect the Wirz LCD to my stamp. I am sure Newark has it. I
just can't find it.

Thanks,
Heath Lovell

    Heath:
    I soldered a single row 5 pin header to the outer row of pins on the Wirz
    board and plugged a 5 pin IDC receptacle onto it. If I recall correctly,
    you only need the inner row for backlight connections, (if your LCD has
    one). My LCD had two separate solder pads that I soldered leads to for the
    backlight.

    If you are interested in this approach, the receptacle is part number
    A19053-ND from DigiKey, ($3.60 for 25). It is an IDC connector that you can
    force #28 flex wire into with a screwdriver, (I don't have the "official"
    tool for IDCs).

    Since their connector layout undoubtedly mimics the original Seetron
    device, check out the detailed instructions at http://www.seetron.com/
