Looking for a DIGIKEY equivalent for the pin header used in the kits.

Russ Ferguson

I would like to get a quantity of the pin headers that are are used in the bread-boards for connection to servos, whiskers,·and the like.

Does anyone have·an equivalent·DIGIKEY part number handy? I am hoping to get a 40 pin stick of pins that can be broken to get combinations of 3,4, or 5 pins.

Doesn't have to be a DIGIKEY part -

Parallax part is:
451-00303

Martin:

The pin "tail" is not as long as the ones·that are sent in·the kits.

The ones from the kit measure:
···················· "Matting length": .260
········ and······ "Tail length":······ .230

I'm guessing that they must be some sort of a "connector" instead of·a "board pin header".

Thanks for pointing me at that spec. The closest in the spec was .280 & .250· or· .235 & .210 (but they are not catalog items as far as I can tell).

Try looking through the selection on page 1111 of the Mouser catalog. I think you'll find something that will work, though you may have to pay for the gold plated ones. Hopefully what you need will be in stock.

The .210 “Tail Length” appears to be long enough to slide into·a female (servo type) connector and make a good mechanical connection.
