Where to find 3-row RA pin headers? [Archive]

Anyone know where to order 3-row right-angle pin headers. Like that pictured below, but with 3 rows instead of 2. Like you might use on a receiver with horizontal pins for plugging your servos into.

Thanks,

Try searching this forum... the same question has been asked three or four times before

Here's one thread

seems to have several links to several suppliers inc some free samples !

None of the links in the other threads actually went to what I'm looking for. I requested a price quote from Samtec, but I was hoping there was somewhere like digikey where I could just order a few.

You obviiously need glasses :)

From a post on the second page

was digging through digikey for something and found a nice 3 row angled header that should do the job if those samples don't pan out. part # A1275-ND

I looked at that. It is a shrouded connector. Not what I'm looking for.

That'll teach me not to check it out first :o

A bit more searching and I came across

Availble from http://www.westfield.co.uk/B2B/tx/c21.htm Not sure if they do the right-angle ones, but may be worth sending them an e-mail

Aha! Played around with the westfield link and found this:

Now if I could find these in the US.

A bandsaw would fix the digikey shrouded connector pretty quickly for prototyping, though.

True, but should my prototype end up as a product, I like to use parts with a good source, so I try to design with easier to get components.

Just tried to order a few from digikey, but it's out of stock with no backorder - meaning they probably won't get more, I guess. :(

Hi,

Samtec samples are perfect ...

But they're not so generous: only 2 rows sent !!!

Hmm. I'd need a bit more than that. I'm thinking for prototype work I'll just use a dual row right angle and plug in my servos sideways.

You can find dual row right angle wherever you want !!!

I was saying they only sent me two SAMPLES.

oh, I thought you meant they'd only sent enough to plug in 2 servos - 2 rows.
You mean they sent 2 strips.

I requested pricing/sample info on that part number 9 days ago and they still haven't responded.

Hey because you are reasonably close to Sacramento, have you been to HSC electronics which is just around the corner from Airborne Hobbies. I check thenm for you this week.

I've been there once about a year ago. If you happen to be in there, it would be great if you could check on the 3-row headers.

Thanks,
