AndyJ Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Hi All, I'm trying to identify this connector and where to get it from. Plughttp://i62.tinypic.com/24mztpd.jpg Sockethttp://i60.tinypic.com/qx99mu.jpg I've seen them used for LED tape, which is exactly what I'm aiming to do. I've scoured CPC / RS but couldn't find it....

lite_lad Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 looks like a car connector? that might help in your search... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alistermorton Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 It looks a little like an 0.1" pitch IDC header connector that a company I used to work for in the 80s used. RS used to sell them but I think we bought them in quantity from STC or Thomas and Betts, but I don't know if those companies are still around.

Mixermend Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 There is an enormous range of crimp type connectors like this (although NOT with, presumably, high current flat pins) - and I can only suggest that you measure the pitch (distance between the centre of 2 pins) - and search the AMP and Molex connector Web sites. Even Chinese types will be 'similar' to recognised makes I expect..... The problem is - even if you find them - getting hold of small quantities, is likely to be impossible. If RS, Farnell, CPC and Rapid don't have them - you might have to change them for something you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyJ Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Thanks all, I've given up and gone with something else, but will keep an eye out in the future. Just to satisfy my curiosity! AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
