SX Key Header

Lightfoot

You know that header connector (the thing with the gold prongs that are held in place by the black plastic piece) that the SX key slides onto?· What kind of header should I use (mouser stock number)?· I do not want one one that is bent 90 degrees, just plain upright.

Thanks

Well well, I'm seeing things, three of them.

Moe,

Here's the page of the mouser catalog with the headers you need:

www.mouser.com/catalog/628/1179.pdf

At the top of the page, you'll see that figure "E" is what you're looking for. Look on the bottom of the page to find the various parts number for it. You can buy these at pretty much at any electronics supply company. They are breakaway, so get one as long as you want and snap off the four connector length you'll need for an SX-Key. That way you'll have more left over for other projects. BTW, if you get them somewhere else, make sure the pins are on .1" centers.

Thanks, PeterM
