Male and Female Connectors

Does anyone know where I can get a male connector and a female
connector so that I can make an extension cable connecting an existing
male connector with a female connector? Each connector has a single
line of 12 contacts and measures about 1-1/8” from contact 1 to
contact 12. The pins on the male end are the diameter of the lead of
a mechanical pencil. Also, what is the official name for these
connectors?

Thanks,
Jack B.

I'll take a wild guess and say that you are looking at something like
an AMPModu post header and receptacle: 0.025" square pins on 0.1"
centers. Samtec and others make similar parts.

For the headers see http://dkc3.digikey.com/PDF/C083/P0244.pdf
Female housing: http://dkc3.digikey.com/PDF/C083/P0238.pdf (contacts
are purchased separately)

somwhere between 0.3mm and 2mm great!

Also, what is the official name for these

there are many different types of connectors that use a 1/10" pitch
(centre-to-centre contact spacing) you appear have one of them...

Bye.

Yes that thought occurred to me too. I generally use 0.5mm. Used to that is.

'Many' isn't even approaching it !
