I'll check that out -- thanks. I'm a little lost what the differences are between all these Pomona Minigrabbers... Edit: Ah according to the comparison tool it appears the only real difference is the "Termination", e.g. Solder, 0.090" (2.29mm) Wire Opening vs. Solder, 0.144" (3.66mm) Wire Opening (Minigrabber 3925 vs Minigrabber 4555 series) Although there's also a Minigrabber 4176 that otherwise matches the termination of the Minigrabber 3925 and seems more expensive than just getting two of the previous: --- End quote --- (and in fact appear to have the same data sheet). Whaaaaat. |

You don't necessarily have to cut and patch jumpers. Just look for 0.025' square pin headers. --- End quote --- FYI, I do not recommend using square pin headers on breadboards, in particular, not on cheap breadboards. They're too thick and splay the contacts. Machined headers are thinner and work better. --- Quote from: AnyNameWillDo on July 30, 2018, 05:46:14 am ---Although there's also a Minigrabber 4176 that otherwise matches the termination of the Minigrabber 3925 and seems more expensive than just getting two of the previous: --- End quote --- (and in fact appear to have the same data sheet). Whaaaaat. --- End quote --- Gotta read the whole datasheet, man. ;) It's titled "Model 3925 & Kits 4176-02 & 5522" Here's what it says under ORDERING INFORMATION: --- Quote ---Kit 5522 contains 10 pieces of 3925, one of each color.

At any rate I'm still unsure what to get in terms of quantity / type for all this banana/minigrabber stuff. Better to get the detachables or the full cord? Perhaps additional wire too of a certain gauge? |
