First time posting here so hopefully you can bear with me. I am looking for these connectors for a laminator that I have. I just don’t know which I need and I may be posting on the wrong thread. But any help would be great. I am needing the cable to be around 3.5-4 feet in length. Its a female to female cable and both ends are 12 pin.
Hello creativegraphics247,
Welcome to the DigiKey TechForum.
First thing, is we would not have a cable assembly like this.
I don’t know if our custom department could make one, but you can check with them at custom.orders@digikey.com. You would need the part numbers for the connector and the contact, along with the wire awg size.
To find the proper connector, we would need the pitch (pin spacing), which is measured from the center of on pin, to the center of the next pin. Or from the first to last pin, and divide by 11.
The closest match I found to the look of the connector, is 455-2953-ND, which has a 2.00mm pitch. So the length would be 26.00mm at the lip on the side by the wires. The contact we have available, in the lowest quantity, is 455-1313-100-ND which is sold in 100 piece strips, and is for the 24-28 awg wire.
Your connector may have some markings on the lip, one the side where the wires go in. Check with a magnifying glass, and see if there is any series number on there.
Please check the datasheets to help verify if this is the correct connector and contact.
Thank you SO MUCH for your response. I will do all of these things.
