G+_Reggie Henneman Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 I wasted so much time trying to Buy connectors for my project, but the amount of technical jargon for such a simple concept makes using that website far more complicated than it needs to be. Also I spent 20 minutes staring at a picture of an 8 pin connector that was described as a 2 pin connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eddie Foy Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Welcome to the big boy arena. Them , digi-key, mouser, etc are not geared for hobbyists, but professionals that know exactly what they are looking for. Next is connectors. There is a near infinite amount of different ones. (Frustrates the bejeezus out of me!) You can never go by the picture (they will even state that) You need to read the specs/data sheets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Perry Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I haven't used it but I thought element 14 has online sales people you can talk to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
