To whoever talked about DuPont connectors -- (this board doesn't have that message in yet... so I can't reply to it!) Don't start with Newark. Start with DuPont. Give them a call, and ask them who their local distributor is for your area. I'd also like to point out that Fujitsu sells 2mm spaced connectors, too. Their nearest distributor to me here in Wisconsin is Marshall Electronics, in Milwaukee. ---Joel Kolstad P.S. -- I know Newark's lastest catalog has the DuPont ad on the last page. But see if there's someone closer to you selling DuPont stuff -- it's often quite hard to convince places like Newark that they ought to be carrying a distributor's part that they don't have in stock!

Hmm... in that case, you're fighting an uphill battle. I've played that game before... you go between trying to convince Newark they're a full Dupont distributor and therefore ought to sell that connector, to going to DuPont and trying to find a nice enough representative who will tell Newark they sell what they sell. Good luck. I'll post the Fujitsu part #'s tomorrow. ---Joel Kolstad kolstad@cae.wisc.edu
