Look at distributers connector pages, e.g. PCB headers, select manufacturer/Brand: Molex, if they have it Series: KK, or Pitch: 0.1" and you'll see them. For example I just searched on RS and got this: uk.rs-online.com/web/c/connectors/pcb-connectors/pcb-headers/… look at the "Number of Contacts", you can see they carry 2pin upto 18pin and beyond. | |
| May 7, 2016 at 2:20 | comment | added | Roger | I might be missing something, but I only need 3 pins per connection to go to each dallas temp sensor. I like the Molex, but all examples I find are 6 pins. Is that an option? | |
