BOE SIL breadboard connector

manxstamp

The BOE, and many other Parallax boards, has black connectors, each with a·single row of sockets, next to the breadboard area to allow wires to be connected to stamp pin connections, Vss, Vdd etc. I have been trying to find such connectors for making a prototyping board but they seem·difficult to find in the UK and small orders are impossible to place with large suppliers without massive costs in delivery, minimum order charges etc.
Standard SIP connectors are intended for ICs and do not take the varying lead diameters that a breadboard can. Does any one know how or where I can obtain a few such 'SIL breadboard' connectors? Can Parallax reveal their source?

Thanks for any info.

Don't know if this helps since we are in the states, but http://www.awce.com/components.htm will show you 20 pin SIP sockets of the type you describe. We bring these over from Asia in large quantity since we use them on our CPLD boards.

We do ship to the UK, but I agree that for 1 or 2, it is probably not worth it. 3M makes these (although not necessarily the ones we have) and they are called female headers.

There are several suppliers in the USA (Jameco and so on) that have these things and you can find them listed in robotic sites, but I am not sure you want to deal with the shipping and handling unless it is part of a larger order.

I am in Taiwan and I can by a package of two or three offthe shelf for merely $1US or so.

How many pins do you want -- 16? These are not truly 'breadboard connections' - the are for those square pins spaced in a row and similar to what are used on the 16 pin LEDs to plug into a motherboard (I hope I am clear)

After AirMail international postage, it will still double the cost.

If you care to barter...
(What do you have in Merrie Old England or on the Isle of Man that would interest me, an American in Taiwan?),

I can find the time to buy a package, put them in the air mail, and declare them as a gift (duty free, right?)
