| Longer lasting Dupont alternatives for cheap LAs, Analog Discovery etc? |
| (1/3) > >> |
| Howardlong:
Can someone recommend a source of more hard-wearing alternatives to the 0.1" Dupont receptacles used on cheap LAs and the Analog Discovery? These lose their grip after a handful of insertions. The likes of Keysight, Tek, Rigol & Siglent all use far harder wearing turned-pin style receptacles on the LA probes for their MSOs, but my Google-fu is failing to show up anything that would allow me to put together my own more durable flywire assembly. |

Molex 70058-**** https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/ps/PS-70058.pdf Dual spring box socket. Available preassembled. or the stiffer Molex 90119-**** 71851-**** Single pin housing? Nope. |

They are not cheap. Might be some ali alternatives: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004707554342.html Or may not be deep enough, depending on what you are using it for. Usually the recommendation here is to buy an old logic analyzer cable from ebay and use that. |

Two options to consider: 1. One of the Samtec connector families that use Tiger Eye or Machined contacts: https://www.samtec.com/contact-systems 2. TE AMPMODU MOD IV or V Wire Connectors: https://www.te.com/usa-en/products/brands/ampmodu/ampmodu-modiv.html?tab=pgp-story Sceptre |
