molex headers vert pcb

[lineman]

I see mouser is out of Headers Vert PCB hdr 2p Tin plating (Mouser#538-22-03-2021 ) but have HeadersVert PCB hdr 2p tin friction ( mouser # 538-22-23-2021 ) they both have the same ratings as far as I can tell but someone with better understanding of electronic's should look at this might be able to swap out part .

538-22-23-2021 has a retention clip to hold mating plugs.  It may get in the way of the two-pin shunt, but looks like it is easy to dyke off.

538-22-28-4022 or 538-22-28-4026 would be a better match.

What I bought is the 36 pin breakaway strip.  Using a sharp pair of thin dikes I can make the 2 or 5 pin headers as needed....  easier to store (and find)  and much cheaper in the end.    Con is that I have messed a few up in cutting them to size. 

Just some food for thought.

The trick is NOT to cut them, but break them. Hold in a pair of pliers at the number you need then just snap by pulling or pushing.

I buy 40 way ones locally as they are cheaper than even Mouser

Greetings,,,

That's just those local Aussie strips.  Here in America our strips fight back.   

Another tip for the wiki.

Now there's gonna be a run on 36 and 40 position strips.
