And then
there's that "mini-" stuff that seems so prevalent these days.
I hate those connectors with a passion, they're so small that they're almost
impossible to solder up. And half the time you spend
so long trying to
solder to the pins that you end up melting the buggers....gah! :-(
Where I can, I buy the plug-to-open-end cables (or plug-to-plug and cut
them in half) from companies like RS components. Expensive, but it saves
a lot of four-letter words...
