I know this may not be the place to post this message but I can't find the
answer elsewhere.
I am using a breadboard to design my current circuit. Now that I have
completed the design I want to build a circuit board.
Part of the circuit has four buttons. Each button has one wire that is
plugged into a +5v source and
the other wire from the button connects to an input pin on the stamp with a
pull-down resistor.
Using the breadboard of course I just stripped the plastic off the end of
the wire and stuck it in a hole.
Now that I am building a circuit card I was thinking it would be nice to
solder some header pins to the card and connect the wires to the header pins
like how the reset button, in a pc, connects to the motherboard.
My problem is I cannot find where to get the end pieces to put on the end of
the wire that slides over the header pin.
Also I have another wire, which is a RJ25, same as RJ11 phone jack, but with
6 wires.
What I am looking for is the female port, which can be mounted on a circuit
board.
Can someone tell me where to find these pieces?
Thanks,

I am trying to locate connectors (just the connectors by themselves w/o
attached cables) for PocketPCs (namely the Casio Cassiopeia EM500) and
Sprint PCS cell phones (namely the new vision ones; the Samsung a500,
N400, the LG5350, etc) for a stamp project. I've hunted on all the
manufacturer's sites to no avail.
I see these all the time on aftermarket non-OEM wireless/PDA
accessories. Does anyone know of a place where I can buy this in fairly
small quantities?
Thanks in advance!

I'd like the wires to be bundled into one round wire (so I'm not keen on
ribbon cable) that I can just plug into the circuit boards. And I'd
like them to be as thin (and light) as possible. They wouldn't need to
be longer than 4 feet.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

'pin' and 'socket' connections.
For wire:
1. 30 gage wire-wrap wire is very light.
You could use it with the Kronos
pin or socket method. It's limited
in current -- I wouldn't put more than
50 mA through it. One of the wires
in the bundle should be ground, and
the wires should be 'twisted' to reduce
RF noise pickup.
2. You could put in RJ telephone connectors.
Radio shack sells 6-conductor connectors,
crimp tools, and wire. Heavier than
30-gage wirewrap, though.

Click on 'App Notes'.
Look at 'Get the Connection (DAN129)'
Note these can be a little kludgy,
but check them out for your own use.

Cat5 cable with RJ11 or RJ45 jacks.
One of the simplest, reliable and inexpensive connectors you may consider is
a standard 9 pin miniature 'd' connector as used on your computer. the
wires may be as thin as 3/16" round, have good strain relief schemes, and
the connectors can be found in pcb mount as well as cable mount. For stamp
applications using these connectors, check out this web site:
http://www.geocities.com/jimforkin2003/
if cost is not a consideration, very small, very reliable, and, very
expensive connectors may be purchased from LEMO. You can find their web
site on the net.

I need a way to run 6 wires for one printed circuit board to another.
I'd like the wires to be bundled into one round wire (so I'm not keen on
ribbon cable) that I can just plug into the circuit boards. And I'd
like them to be as thin (and light) as possible. They wouldn't need to
be longer than 4 feet.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
