looking for molex connector

Post by victorf »

I have 6 USGlobeSat ET-102 GPS reciever modules. The signal/power connector is a 20 pin, dual row Molex milli-grid (2mm spacing) header. I have been unable to find a matching IDT type wire-to-board connector. I have searched the normal US distributors Jameco, Digikey and Mouser,with no luck. I believe the mfg part number is 875682043 or 44 or 64 or 94. Where else can I look? What else can I use? I am NOT interested in soldering directly to the header!

Any enlightenment will be appreciated.

Try Newark and search for 87568.

MWF,

Thanks for the reply. Newark could not help. Though the connector is listed, it is a non-stock item :( and there is a fairly large MOQ for a re-order. I need 6 not 600. :)

I am seriously considering unsoldering the puppies and just adding wire to the positions I need. Anyone have a better idea?

Any further enlightenment will be appreciated.
