Looking for 5-way 2.54mm header connector with wires
« on: October 24, 2016, 01:27:33 am »
I have a project going where I need to source 1000 pcs with a 5 way connector on each end, the type that plugs into 2.54mm spacing pcb header pins. It is to go from a HEX pushwheel switch on a panel to a pcb with header pins. See pics. Can anyone suggest a good place to start looking?

I'd imagine there are quite a few inexpensive options from China, these header to header jumper wires are quite common and cheap on ebay.  Maybe aliexpress is a better option for high volume.

I'm sure you can get the from a more reputable source, but something like a 5 pin single row male to female cable can be had extremely inexpensively.  In my experience they've been durable enough for normal use between fixed boards.  If you're looking for a large quantity maybe it's a good idea to get a sample from the manufacturer you're considering and see if they're built well enough for your application.
