I am looking for a ribbon cable connector to plug into a DIP socket on
0.4" row centers. This is to tap into the socket of a 3 digit LED display. I know they have made ICs on 0.4" rows but I can't find such a ribbon cable connector.Anyone seen one of these? I only need 12 pins but there is space for 16 or even 20 pins. Otherwise I'll have to kludge up something pretty ugly.

You could make it pretty with flexible printed circuit wiring. Ribbon cable wiring is kinda old-school.
If I were kludging it, there'd be an interface board with double-sided wirewrap pin headers; plug the cable(s) into side 1, hand-wrap from side 2 to the LEDs.

put two male connectors on the cable next to each other and cut off the inner rows of pins, that should add up to about 0.4"

That's the best idea I've seen yet. Actually, I have DIP connectors from a kit I got a long time ago. I was thinking of using two of them since they already have the right shape pins. I just don't know for sure there isn't an interference problem, but I'll find out.
More like this I guess. ____ ____ ====|____|=|____|= | |
