Mike-

Home Depot normally carries good selection of RJ-11 sockets, plugs,
Cat 5 wire, etc. Also good for 1-Wire bus projects with the BS2p.

    I want to use rj-11's (unless someone has a better idea) for connecting
    from my pc to breadboards, bots, etc., but haven't found any rj-11
    female connections. Its easy to find the male parts to crimp on wires,
    but not the female sockets.

    Does anyone have any ideas where to find the female connectors?

    Look for any place that sells telecommunication and data communication
    supplies. CAT5 type stuff... They'll have the RJ-11 parts too. If you find
    a place that sells the female sockets that can be soldered to a PC
    board...please let me know. I've thought about unsoldering them from old
    network cards and modems...

    Try www.jameco.com and enter 105945 in their search box to find a
    RJ11 P/C board mount jack. They have other types bit I use this one.

    Awhile ago I bought some solder-type RJ-45 jacks with 2 built in LEDs for
    about 1.59$ each.. I'm sure I saw RJ-11 solder type

    One thing I will say about using consumer type connectors -- *someone* will
    wind up plugging something in that doesn't belong. I've seen this happen
    time and time again when someone uses parts that come to hand.

    In this case it might be a bad thing if someone plugged your stuff into a
    live phone jack, which can carry anywhere from about 45 volts DC to 90 volts
    AC.

    Mouser Electronics (800/346-6873) www.mouser.com

    You've probably already found and bought some of these already... but here's
    another source:

    B.G. Micro
    http://www.bgmicro.com

    Receiver phone connector. PC board mount
    ACS1133
    $0.39 or 3/$1.00

    RJ45 8-wire PC board connector
    ACS1132
    $0.42 or 3/$1.10

    Does anyone have any ideas where to find the female connectors?

    I found a few from a store here in MN called AXEMAN. They have pins
    at the base that can be easy breadboarded or soldered even. I'm not
    sure if you have these stores up in your area.

    But, also on a side note, I'm using male plug in my minature robot
    and a female connector from teh computer's serial cable. Please see
    my site at http://nagi.crosscity.com/basicstamp/alibe.

    thx
