Hello, I’m a novice and can’t quite figure out what style connector this is to then find where I can purchase it. Any help is much appreciated.
I don’t have the above connector block but it fits into this board:
Thanks.
Hello Sircuit,
Welcome to the TechForum the plug you have, it is found in Headers, Plugs and Sockets on our web. You will need to measure the Pitch of the part that is the distance from pin to pin on the board. Not knowing that I did look, and I think it will be one from this link Headers, Plugs and Sockets | Terminal Blocks | Electronic Components Distributor DigiKey
Note that this is the “Headers, Plugs and Sockets” subcategory under the “Terminal Blocks” section, for future reference. Terminal blocks typically have a component that allows one to attach a wire via either a screw mechanism or a spring mechanism, rather than crimping or soldering.
To get an accurate measurement of your pitch, “P”, measure from first to last pin and divide by 11. See diagram below:
Make note that two of the common sizes are very nearly the same pitch → 5.00mm and 5.08mm. So, with 12 pins, the length “L” from first to last pin would be 55.00mm for the 5.00mm versions, and 55.88mm for the 5.08mm versions. That extra 0.88mm matters.
