Where can I get cable assemblies like this?
« on: March 10, 2020, 04:50:54 pm »
Hi,

I just bought an LA104 handheld logic analyzer and it comes with a cable assembly with a 0.1" rectangular connector on one side and female Dupont wires on the other, i.e.:


Is there a place to buy these off-the-shelf, with different numbers of wires? I'm not even sure what to Google for.

Thank you,
   Bob

Thanks, but I'm looking for a single rectangular connector on one end, not separate individual connectors.

In a pinch, you can use the individual connectors, arranging them how you want, attached to a header, and then glue them altogther. Hot melt glue will work. we do that alot around here.

There are many options:

Buy the ribbon with single housings, remove the unwanted single housings by lifting the plastic tab, replace with multi-way housings like these...   https://www.technobotsonline.com/cable-assembly-housings.html

Buy ready made leads like these...   https://www.technobotsonline.com/pre-crimped-wire-f-f-30cm-50-piece-rainbow-mix.html and slot into whatever muti-way housing you choose. All combinations male/female available in different lengths.

I have linked to a UK supplier, but all major suppliers have housings. Pre-made leads are harder to find.

You can make your own leads if you can find the right crimp tool, but this is very fiddly, time consuming and unreliable if not done skilfully.
