2mm wire connectors

max72

When I use 2mm spaced components (Xbee, ID12 RFID, and so on) I have to use an adapter board or a custom PCB.
With the 100mils spaced pins I use connectors to be crimped. My electronics component seller has them, and the plastic connector can host from 2 to 8 or more wires. The female part is on the wires, and I can use both a male component on the PCB, or the headers on a breadboard.
Is there something similar for the 2mm spacing? rs-components and mouser are my best buying options, but any solution is welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Massimo

Massimo, try filtering with the RS search
Connectors > General > Discrete Wire Housing
then narrow with 2mm pitch
then narrow with 2 rows
I get 62 matches of various types. MiniTek looks good and cost effective. Hirose DF13?

You can normally get wires pre-terminated in 150 or 300mm length so they just click into place

I think some of the MoBo products came with a 12 way, 2mm extension cable that fit the MoBo connector. Not 100% sure what product(s) - possibly the line scan module. Don't think the Backpack comes with one.

The MoBo, Propeller Backpack, and Spinneret use the Hirose DF11-series 2mm connectors. DigiKey sells pre-terminated wires for these that just snap into the connector shells. (The crimps are much too small for user installation on the wires without very expensive tools.)

Hint: When buying pre-terminated wires, do not buy them with crimps on one end only. Get extra long wires with crimps on both ends and cut them in half. You'll save some money this way -- at least with DigiKey's pricing structure.

Thanks,
I have difficulties searching RS and friends. Now that you showed me the path it looks so easy...
I guess the DF3 are a perfect fit.
