I have need for 8-pin IDC DIP headers. In other words, a ribbon
cable IDC connector that plugs into a 8-pin IC socket.
Now, I can find IDC males that are 0.1 pin spacing, 0.1 row
spacing,for $0.50~$1.00 easily.
But when I need one in DIP spacing (0.1 x 0.3) they are either
$4.00+ <https://www.mouser.com/productdetail/571-746611-7>
OR the supplier wants $18 to ship one. <https://store.sacelec.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=9451>
Anyone found a better source?
(Then there's the issue of one end of the cable having Pin 1 be
the #1 ribbon conductor, the other end wanting that conductor to
terminate on its pin 6.)
Could you whip up a bunch of little PCB adapters? Pads for the
cheap IDC males on one side, pads for some thick durable pins
to slot into the DIP sockets on the other (that also route the
conductors appropriately)?
The pins on the one in the second link look like they were
designed to be soldered once permanently to a PCB. They won't
survive too many insertion-removal cycles. If they don't need
to be cycled then the question is why have the sockets there at
all.
The sockets on both ends, the 8-pin DIP & the 2x4 0.1 IDC are on
existing boards. I wish the 2x4 was male headers, and I may be
able to get a special order on them so it will be, but the DIP
is on the PLC itself.

I suppose I should know what PLC stands for but I don't.
"Programmable logic controller" doesn't seem to make much sense
here. "Portland lesbian choir" has a nice ring to it but I don't
think this is it either...

I think he means the first context but the "PLC" is a board comprised of
many components which make up the functionality of the PLC.

Thanks; they are more reasonable. I bought a bunch to see how they look.
Let us know the results! I would like to find the 4 stepped row type of
PCB to IDC ribbon cable connector at a reasonable price. Used in 1980s Williams pinball and video arcade games...

Not such an easy task -- Allied Electronics has ZERO stock for ALL pin

Strange, RS-online (which SFAIK is the same company) lists 31 in stock.
