Doepfer

Hello!

Does anyone know where I may buy ribbon cables, like those used by 
Doepfer, to connect modules to the power supply?  I'm working on some 
diy modules.  

Or, perhaps a better question might be, if I wanted to make my own 
ribbon cables, where do I buy the black connector thingies that clamp 
on to the ribbon cable?  Some of my ribbon cables go between pcb 
boards, so I need various widths and lengths.

Thanks a ton!

Hi Bret,
In the UK I use either Maplin or RapidElectronics - if you are not UK 
based, check these out on the web so that you know what to look 
for/ask for:

www.maplin.co.uk

Search on jb59 - these are the 10 way sockets that attach to the 
cable. You'll also see fg44, 16-way sockets on same page.

Search on xr73 for the 16-way ribbon cable - they don't do 10 way, so 
I just peel off 6 conductors (but they do sell it buy the foot, and 
not a 30m reel!).

Search on jw62 for the double row PCB header plug - it's 36 pins 
long, but again can be cut down.

www.rapidelectronics.co.uk

Open 
http://www.rapidelectronics.co.uk/PDFs/CATPDFs/09_Connectors_multi.pdf

and search for 19-0300, the 10 way sockets (16 there too, 19-0305).
Search for 22-0560 for 10 way PCB header plug (which they don't do as 
16 = 8+8, but you can still buy a 36+36!)

Open
http://www.rapidelectronics.co.uk/PDFs/CATPDFs/02_Cables.pdf

and search for 01-0172, 16 way ribbon cable: they do carry the 10 way 
stuff (01-0167), but note it's sold on 30m reels only (but way 
cheaper than Maplin for this amount)!

By the way, 'IDC' stands for something like 'insulation displacement 
connector', i.e. is descriptive of what it actually is/does.

Hope that's of use.

Tim

Hi Bret,

just look for a store which sells electronic components like resistors, 
LEDs etc. Normally they should have as well the ribbon cables as the 
connectors.
Check out Conrad ( www.conrad.com ) As far as i know they have a 
internet store.

cheers,
Paul
