? Who made this connector? (with photos)



Hi all,



I need to find the source for these zero insertion force connectors.



They're 2mm pitch locking connectors for stripped ribbon cable.

I need to know who made them, and if you can ID the series, that would be sweet, too.



Thanks!

The part has a logo on it that looks like a capital "D" with a horizontal line through it and extending slightly out of the left side of the "D".

"?" is a letter in the Vietnamese alphabet

It looks like through-hole, but what is the pin pattern: in-line or staggered?

Molex p/n 0521471210 may be close enough to substitute:

No, there really are connectors that are designed to handle stripped ribbon cable or other wire terminations vice a "flat on flex" terminal. This

datasheet from Molex shows how they expect the ribbon cable to be prepared. Quite different from a FFC/FPC receptacle.

Molex does have one that does not require holes for side support posts and that does have a compression latch, which could be a functional substitute for the OP's requirement.

Roger that. Sometimes Usenet does work out to be more than a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea... ;-)

Cheapskate! Spend the ten cents and buy an elephant filter!
