Post by thread:[EE:] PCBs in Dsub hoods

Resending, because I don't recall seeing it posted the first time... I'm needing to put a small PCB into a DB9 dsub connector. Does anyone know of a company that makes a dsub made for that? I'll need probably .5" x 1.5" or so, to fit all I need. I'd like to avoid a bulge in the middle of the cable if I can. Does anyone have any favorite methods? All I can think of is buying different ones and trying them out.

The ones I have seen, just used offset pads, and shoved the PCB between the standard solder cup pins. They may have used thinner board stock, but I don't have one at hand to measure. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
