2.0-mm-pitch connectors

[MC]

In the hope that this will not spur acrimonious debate (or that if it does, I can duck!) I'd like to ask:

Where is a good place to get connectors that fit on 2.0-mm-pitch inline headers instead of the more common 2.54-mm?

Either crimp connectors with housings, or something like MTA-100s, but properly sized.

We are starting to get lots of robot components that use the new-style 2.0-mm pitch.

Thanks!

Digikey:

S5751-40-ND : 2mm single straight 40 position receptacle
S5800-40-ND : 2mm single straight 40-poistion header

They also have right-angle, dual row, etc.

Have you checked Digikey?

www.digikey.com
Put 2mm IDC or some such in the search box.

They stock a lot of connectors, but you will pay through the nose for
small quantities.

"2mm connectors" is what they're called. OK, armed with that knowledge I can proceed. Somehow, I didn't put the right thing in their search engine the first time.

Thanks!

Specifically, I've been using the Hirose DF11 series of board-to-wire
connectors lately, and I like them. I've also been having Digi-Key
crimp the contacts onto the wires for me, since I only have a few
standard lengths of wire that I need. It isn't cheap, but it sure
saves me a lot of hassle.
