Hi, very off off topic, but a quick plea to the electronic gurus here:
I have a 16 wire rainbow flat ribbon cable attached to an LCD that I want to connect to my Arduino. Soldering single leads on the 16 cables sounds tiresome and full of risk of shorts so I would like to attach a header, ideally via press on (or crimp on? not sure what the right term is)
I've searched all the usual subjects (digikey, mauser, etc) but kind find a suitable connector.
I can work with a single row connector or with a double row connector, ideally male but I would take a female single row as well at this point. (the 2-row female ones dont work because they have the wrong wiring - the one that I have on the board is also a female 2-row one so you cant make them work together (I tried all sorts of tricks but it wont work).
So - where can I find either
- single row male 16 wire crimp on header to attache to 16 wire flat ribbon cable
- single row female 16 wire crimp on header to attach to 16 wire flat ribbon cable
- 2-row male 16 wire crimp on header to attach to 16 wire flat ribbon cable
Thanks so much for your kind help and please accept my apologies for the OOT.
Cheers
Peter
