IDC PCB Interconnects.

[nelson]

So, I have a method of PCB mounting everything.

The problem being that the enclosures I use are sloped, so, there needs to be a PCB interconnect system.

I wouldn't want everything on the same PCB anyway, what with longevity issues.

My small dilemna is that I have designed the boards to be interconnected with 4 way 2.54mm pitch jumper cable.

I would like to move to an IDC system - you know, no wire soldering involved.

However, I'm having problems finding suitable IDC connectors.

Does anyone have any idea where I can find 2.54mm pitch 4 way IDC connectors?

I've seen them used in some wah's, but for the life of me, I can't find a source.

Thanks.

I've never seen 4 way's but 10 ways are extremely common.  Would it be worth thinking about flexi jumpers (you know the orange coloured type?)  These are soldered of course.

If you have the room you could use 10 way connectors. I normally run the ground along one side of the connector. That gives you another 5 wires, and you have a ground wire in between each other wire.
