Wanted: 50Way PCB Edge -> IDC cable connector
« on: August 17, 2017, 10:48:10 am »
I am looking for a couple of specific IDC connectors, hopefully someone out there has a couple in a drawer or you have an old cable with some on you don't need anymore i could buy!

They are 50 way PCB edge connectors to IDC. So the same type as used on the old 5.25" floppy drives but the 50 way version that were used on the even older 8" drives. I need to make up a couple of cables.

Attached a couple of pics of what i need:

They're used on IBM PS/2 drives in PS/2 50 and a few others so it might be worth skimming a few old hardware reference manuals and seeing if you can find FRU numbers to hunt out...

I think this is what you need:

If you don't find other source I can help with buying these connectors.

Very simply, digikey also has stuff like that. First link I clicked (in no way sorted or filtered other than IDC, 100mil and 50 pin):
https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/3m/3415-0001/MCE50K-ND/138696

So they may have cheaper too.
If it's a puzzle, I want to solve it.
If it's a problem, I need to solve it.
If it's an equation... mjeh, I've got Matlab
...
...
(not really though, Matlab annoys me).
