IDC 40-pin connector for 80-conductor cable?

The other side of the cable usually fixes that anyway...

No it doesn't.

There's no way to get 2 female connectors to mate pin 1 to pin 1.

Suppose I have a gizmo that lets me connect female-female, but that
scrambles the pinout. Does it get unscrambled if I use 2 of them
in series? (adding a short chunk of cable with female-female.)

Let us know how it works out.

I need 1 female and 1 male connector.

IDC male 40-pin for 80-conductor flat cable are apparently made from
unobtainium...

I don't think they make what you are looking for.

You might be able to fake it with a make-male gizmo. That is
plug a bunch of pins into a female connectot to turn it into a make connector.

If you can't find something targeted at that use, a normal
through-hole header might work. The board end will probably be too
short. Mumble. Solder two together, or push the pins off a bit, or ...

It won't work. You can't just solder two connectors together. That
will swap the odd & even pin numbers and short out the entire buss.

You can't fix stupid. You can't even put a Band-Aid™ on it, because it's
Teflon coated.

You might as well go to a 40 conductor cable if you do that. The 80
conductor cabe is a set of transmission lines and the reflections from a
mix of 40 & 80 pin conductors will screw it up.

I think you need to get two F connectors and try it yourself. Put them face
to face. Pin 1 aligns with pin 2.

There are two types of connctors. One AMP and one other, i think ansley,
but i'm not shure. They use different pins for the stiped wire.
As long as you dont mix brands, you have no problems.
But it can be used to switch pins.

The lunacy never ends.

The pins are NOT defined by a brand name, idiot. They ARE defined by a
standard.

So IF you "found" a connector that was a different pinout (I doubt it),
you were looking at a company that is or would soon be belly up.

Do all gang boy generation retards have zero common sense?

Seems that way.... :)
 
THIS IS HILARIOUS YOU HAVE AN 80 CONDUCTOR RIBBON CABLE?
JUST TEAR IT RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE AND USE THE 40 PIN CONNECTOR
AVAILABLE OF YOU EVER FIND ONE....OR DISCARD THAT IDEA AND GET A
PROPER READY MADE CABLE.
WHAT EVER YOU DO, DO NOT LISTEN TO TERROLL HE'S A FRUITCAKE STUCK ON
STUPID.

Actually there are three kinds of connectors for this application and
they are color-coded (black, blue and grey).

Wrong. There are three types of UDMA connector for UDMA applications.
Show me where that is what he asked for.

Note that he made NO request for any such item. He asked about a 40
pin parallel row (IDC) ribbon cable connector.

Since UDMA connectors typically have molded in keyed pins (not
useable), I doubt he wants a 39 pin connector.

IF he does want a UDMA connector, there are plenty to be found.

He wants the male header though, and that will NOT be a ribbon cable
crimp-on item, though they do exist.
