New SIO Connectors on Ebay

[Jeffrey Worley]

I saw this on ebay and wanted to buy them but thought they might be kinda crappy.  I finally caved and bought four of them.  The shipping was four bucks and the four connectors were about seven.  So for eleven bucks I got four really high quality connectors.  They are 3d printed, but with what kind of printer I can't imagine.  The plastic is sturdy, well-finished, and the fit is  really precise.  For those doing projects that require sio connnectors, I recommend these whole-heartedly.  Here's a link to the connectors, and to the pins, which are available on both Mouser and on Digikey.

I bought 200 pins, so I can make a whole lotta sio2usb's.  Anyone want one?  The prices are hard to beat on Lotharek and on Amigabythelake.  Theirs are only 18.00, but I might make a few pretties for myself and local friends.

 

Best,

Ah!  Gavin's come with the pins and the screw/nut for a little more.  Nice.  I don't need the screw because I need to remove a chunk of the posts anyway to make room for the serial to usb breakout board I'm inserting, but for making cables, his would be the trick.
