Dear folks,
I have found a variety of two-row 0.1" pitch shrouded headers (2x11P, 2x4P, 2x5P, 2x6P) I want on Digikey with notches for ensuring correct polarity alignment, but I am also looking for the corresponding IDC connector such that I can make my own ribbon cables to plug into said shrouded headers. I'm finding difficulty in finding the IDC connectors. I do not want to purchase ribbon cable assemblies, since I would like to make some custom lengths.
It seems that you can pretty much buy any shrouded header you want under the sun, however the corresponding IDC connectors are limited to 2x3, 2x5 etc. with many intermediate values not produced. I would have assumed that if the 2x11p shrouded header is manufactured, there must be a corresponding IDC connector out there somewhere, but I'm having no such luck. Any tips, or thoughts?
All the best,
Ryan
