I need to connect 8 wires from a PIC microcontroller board to a LCD display. The connection is about 6 inches long and is in a HF receiver. The control board and LCD are each in enclosures made from copper clad material. Since it is a HF receiver, I am concerned about interference from the display and controller.
My first thought was to remove the inner conductor from some RG-58 and run the wires through the braid. However, that creates a hardwired solution which is not good. I would like to have sockets on both enclosures and have the connection between the two plug in. At the very least one end should be a plug in connection.
A DIN or DB9 plug/socket combination is too large. I need something much smaller. Searching Mouser I don't find anything suitable. The main thing is that the 8 wires need to be shielded. I can make up the shield portion using copper braid. I just need suitable connectors for each end.
Ideas, anyone?
