Hi all, I have a Olimex LPC-213X-B with 2138 on it. There are two rows of 2x16 header pins on both sides of the board. As a temporary solution I attached a standard hdd cable with 2x20 pin female connectors from an old computer. Then I cut out several cables from the 40way flat cable and used them without a problem. However these flat socket/cable combination is too bulky and I do not need many pins. Therefore I want to replace both of them with 1/2/3 way single row female sockets and connect them only to the pins I need. But, I do not know the names and part numbers of such sockets, neither I could locate them on the net. Please help. Thanks Cem Eryasar
It is probably a good idea to post a link to the board you are talking about. That way others that may not have the board may still be able to help you. I presume you have this: http://www.olimex.com/dev/lpc-p2138.html, although the arrangement of teh headers does not seem to match your description. The documentation does not specify, but they look like standard 2mm pitch inter-PCB headers. Connectors for these are normally sold as connector shells into which you insert leads terminated with crimp terminals. The correct crimp tools are often expensive, and alternate crimp methods result in unreliable connections - for small projects it is generally less expensive to purchase pre-crimped leads. These are usually crimped at both ends. If you only want one end, you can save money by buying half as many at twice the length, and cutting them in two. There are available connectors with soldertags on the back. These are normally intended for PCB mounting, but might be used for temprorary flying leads when used with heat-shrink tubing perhaps. The Harwin M22 range are suitable. Check my assumption about the 2mm pitch, however Harwin will probably have something suitable. You can search thier range by pitch. You will need to find a local supplier, such as Farnell. The Web-site lists global distributors (you did not say where your were). http://www.harwin.com/ Clifford
Sorry, I forgot one letter: LPC-H213X-B http://www.olimex.com/dev/lpc-h2138.html The pin pitch is 0.1 inch (2.5mm). The 16 pin header takes about 4cm. Thanks for the link! Cheers Cem

Of course you can use two or more adjacent shells. I think also that the SIL shells (M20-106) will stack side-by-side and face-to-face. Don't forget you need the crimps and crimp tool to go with them. To save cost, and for prototyping use you might get away with a M20-782(SIL) or M20-783(DIL) socket and some heat-shrink tubing or even two-part epoxy adhesive to provide strain relief. Clifford
