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.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Chuck

You can get pins speficially for this from some suppliers in the UK. They
come in plastic strips of 32 pins, you break off the length you want
(here 20 pins). The pins are larger diameter on one side of the carrier
strip than the other, the thinner side fits the turned pin IC socket, the
thicker side is soldered to the adapter PCB.

Chuck,
Check out DigiKey item ED2064-ND on page 328 of the most recent
catalog or on the web. Also ED1x064-ND, where x is 6, 7, 8 or 9.

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
