I am an infrequent electronics hobbyist. Sometime over the last 35 years I ordered a ribbon cable and two connectors. I soldered the wire to the cable without melting the whole thing. The pins are pretty sturdy and fit snugly in my breadboard or in 0.100 inch sockets.

The problem is I no longer remember where I got these parts from or how to get any more. I don't even recognize the company's symbol on the connector.

If anyone cann tell me where this connector can be purchased (or even the company that made it) I would appreciate it.

Thank you

Hi as iam new here dont know if i can put a link, BUT if you search for "pogo pins" iam sure you will find. vinc21
 
Thanks Ken.

Jameco sounds right. If I had a really old Jameco catalog I could check it out.

What is nice about this connector is that the pins are hefty. Solder cup pins (like those used in D-Sub connectors) are a lot more sturdy than the crimp pins used for 0.100 inch rectangular holders.

It looks like I have to resign myself to soldering wires to crimp pins. hopefully I won't mangle too many pins in the process.

If you can e-mail connectors companies and attach a photo, it is in their financial interest to come up with an equivalent (if you say you may order thousands of these).
 
speakerguy79,
You're correct, ribbon cable is pretty easy. Or I can order already built cables from lots of places.

Although my sample from many years ago was made from a ribbon cable, my current need is to connect to DB25. I want to take an old printer cable, cut off the Centronics connector, and connect the loose wires to an 0.100in spacing rectangular connector.
