Amphenol Connectors for RS41 #1

Open bazjo opened 4 years ago

bazjo commented 4 years ago

Take a look at my implementation (unfortunately not translated to english yet) at https://sondehunt.de/rs41-pc-kabel

The connectors the will fit RS41 are https://www.amphenol-icc.com/minitek-89947710slf.html https://www.amphenol-icc.com/minitek-90311010lf.html https://www.amphenol-icc.com/minitek-77138101lf.html

all are available free of charge as samples from amphenol, they where also quite generous with the amount of crimp connectors they sent me, but don't overdo things

Thank You Johannes for the information. The amphenol headers (I found) are only for crimping/wiring cables. You need a special crimping tool or you have to crimp with a 2mm bus-cable, so you will have the problem on the 2.5mm side(yes, this is more easier...). This was also my first solution, but it was a little unstable.

This was the reason because I developed the print-layout. Soldering two headers is very quick easy. The disadvantage: -you will have to check the markers on the board. -the 2.0mm connector ist a little bit to large for the header.

I will check the website. Perhabs they have the right connector for the printed board.

in my use case, the cable are used for a thethers PC connection, so I did not want a PCB. The connector for the flat cable can be crimped using a pair of pliers and i soldered the crimp connectors as well as i had no matching crimping tool on hand, which has worked fine so far. There might be a PCB-mount connecto in the product lineup as well
