Re: pic: Recognize this connector?
 

We use similar looking headers where I work but ours have a .100 pitch spacing. I think this housing may be what you are looking for (pitch spacing of .156"):

The type of contact I am familiar with using with it is this:

Molex has a different type of contact linked on the "Associated Products" section of the housing.

I found them in the digikey catalog but I can't read the fine print! Just wait, you'll get old, too....

see if this looks right, you can download the datasheets

That appears to be the more common .100 pitch spacing.

Those look like computer fan headers to me, in which case newegg.com may be an option.

I was thinking computer fan too, but I figured Adam would have tried that....but then again, maybe he doesn't mess with computers as much as some of us.....

Re: pic: Recognize this connector?
 

My initial thought is computer fan header too but I don't have any handy to check the spacing.

Re: pic: Recognize this connector?
 

Yes, I'm familiar with the look of the connector and have seen them around, but I was trying to find the exact number to order on mouser or digikey. 1000 are needed so price is important.

The first post was perfect, thanks for the help!

What might you be doing with hundreds of machine tool power supplies? (Unless you're working for Haas....)

Sorry, I can't read.

Not cheap, and already has wires, but there's this: http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a...R-0.156/1.html

Mouser wins at $.15 per housing.

What a low blow...! I'm a computer science minor and build my own, so I like to think I know my way around.

Impressive that you recognized the board that easily! I meant to type 100, not 1000. Still a lot. Doing some upgrades and add ons to a lot of existing machines at work. Although the board pictured is a new HAAS which has more of the "Mini Fit" Molex connectors, the older machines almost exclusively have the above type.


Once again, thanks for the help everyone!

Definitely not intended that way, I thought you spend most of your time doing mechanical stuff....

The fan connectors are .100" while the ones on that board are .156", right? Otherwise they're the same connector.
