I have an order with Digikey going out in a few days but I was unable to find it. So if anyone know if they have it, that would be my first choice...

Mouser has them.

I think I need to do some more googling here since I'm having a hard time finding the dimensions for the pins that goes into the PCB. Maybe it helps if I switch from Yahoo to Google... :tongue:

All dimensions in the drawing are in mm. I have added a plus and minus sign to the pins that are required to feed in the supply voltage. All other pins are not connected on the SX28 MultiBoard. I have also sent an eMail to ROKA, asking for their US distributor. As soon as I get an answer, or find another supplier in the US, I'll post a message here.

I have sent an eMail to ROKA asking for their US distributor but unfortunately did not get an answer yet. Maybe, they have closed their office until January 2. In case I don't get an answer from ROKA, I'm going to send the required connectors to both of you. My daughter is heading back to the US on Jan 27 and she'll bring a supply of connectors with her. In case you or other users need more boards, she'll always ship them together with the connector in the future. I expect that I'll need to order a new supply of boards from the PCB factory in the 2nd quarter of 2007, so I'll re-design the board before so that other connectors would fit.

In SX Microcontrollers, SX/B Compiler and SX-Key Tool, George Herzog wrote:Guenther, I am sending Bamse an alternative to the ROKA jack. It is a panel mount jack, but appears that it will work well. The only difference is the barrel plug opening is oriented up from the board rather that to the side. If this is acceptible, I suspect it is an easy alternative for Americans [and Taiwanese].

They will ship products to any industrial customer world-wide, provided the minimum order is 2000 units. I think this is a "bit" more than we actually need :-) . So I think I'll proceed as proposed, i.e. send jacks to the users who already have the board, and add a jack to each board that will be shipped in the future. George (Kramer): Which alternative did you find? Could you please let us know the part number, and where it can be ordered? A picture might be handy too...

Please expect the letters in about a week. As mentioned before, future shipments of the SX28 MultiBoard will always include a DIN connector for each board unil I have re-designed boards available with fitting holes for other connector types. I'd like to use the connectors that can be found on many Parallax products. Funny as is, it seems difficult getting such connectors here but I'm sure at least DigiKey will have then, and they do a good job delivering parts to Germany in case I can't find a local distributor.

After looking at how I am making the connector work [with bus wire], it seems to lack any finess. Though it does work in a pinch. Taiwan is a bit odd as it is mix of European and American standards, but in this case I've only been able to locate the American parts.
