I'm making an adapter on a small PC board here to
fit a 40 pin DIP
machine-pin socket. I'm not certain what to use for the pins on the PCB
that will be inserted into the socket. Ordinary 0.100 pitch square-pin
header stock might fit, but I'm concerned about it damaging the socket so
that a standard 40 pin IC inserted into the socket may no longer work
reliably.
From my friend Steve Adolph (he needed to solve the
same problem for
Remem http://bitchin100.com/remem_project.htm ):
-------------------------
* you need to use round pins
* there are pin headers that make this easy
* I don't know how to order them, but I have a large quantity of them
I'd be happy to mail a quantity of pin headers that are great for this.
I
think I have 900 tubes of 10 each of 14 pin headers...lots of them.
Just cover the cost of mailing and add 0.01 $ per pin.
ex. 4$ postage + package, and 10 pin headers of 14 pins each = 5.40
hope that is helpful....Steve
