Nice. Very small considering they also do IDC connections. I'm sorted for now
but if I ever want more that two, that's where I'll go. Though there is still
a lot to be said for having the cable attached as a molded form too. That
little advantage outweighed the trouble of having to devise my own mountings.

They also have panel mounted couplers, so you can plug a connector
into the back side. Then you can crimp a custom cable for use inside the
equipment. I found them while looking for something else on their site
and thought it would help if someone found this thread in a future
search.

You can download their entire catalog, or individual sections. The
entire catalog is 38 MB.

Thanks, I'll get that (at least in part). I agree, the panel mounted coupler
is neat. I sort of came close to that idea with the VGA in the case I'm
making, as the standard 1/4" long threaded spacers will work with a standard
moulded VGA HD15 line socket so it can be mounted behind a panel and form a
panel socket with proper anchorage for a line plug. That saved me half of an
awkward job. I think that versatility has been lost with the arrival of
FireWire and USB, though I guess they make up for it in other ways.

Sometimes it's better to spend $5 or $10 on a part, rather than half
a day coming up with a half assed mess. ;-)

Is true, if I can find it when I need it... Ň^O So long as the answer is neat
and easily had I'm ok with it. I wouldn't do what I did if I wanted to make
lots though.

It's sort of like a question someone asked me once: How much does a
transistor cost? I told them the cheapest I could remember at the time, and
said 10 pence. They said a million pounds. The real answer is anywhere
between the two, and depends on how much you have to do to get it. :) My
logic said that if I couldn't find a thing, the next best thing was to adapt
the closest cheap mass-produced thing I could easily reach.

When I started working with transistors they were around $10 each for
the ones I needed. That was in the early to mid '60s.

60's dolars too. :) I guess that's why my first radio didn't get built. It
was the 70's, the transistors were germanium OC70 and OC71, and I don't think
my dad had any idea where to get them, never mind what they cost at the time.

The sad thing was that just a couple years later the same transistors
started showing up surplus for 50 cents.

Reminds me of laser diodes. :)

No worries, my eyes are safe enough, I'm too dazzled by the ratio of price
when buying to price when wanting to sell, to look at them that often..
Actually the 'correct' way to go is to buy a box, then sell a few at a time
to recover the cost, and use what's left. Usually plenty. But I haven't been
able to look for a long time, there haven't been that many fast changes for a
while either, except for blue ones, which are worth watching. Romours exist
of green ones, but only as lab tests. But the bright green and bright blue
LEDs sort of developed together, and there's no shortage of demand for green
to help shring tiny laser projectors. I'm boring myself rigid now so I'll
stop..
