Hello, one and all. Firstly I've been logged on for some time now and have enjoyed reading some useful imfo' So congratulation and Thankyou. ( creep creep ) My Question, Although not quite the usual. We have a small but densely populated motherboard, which is conventionally w/w to board mounted connector's which are then hard wired to approx.' 20 (38999). 60 way connectors. Now we are hopeing to be able to redesign the m-board, incorporating edge connectors or IDC. Then the interfacing could be done with Ribbon cable or Flexi-Rigid cables pre-assembled to the 38999's so then we can just plug into the m-board ! Can anyone suggest suppliers / manufacturers of these kind of Flexi-rigid cable assy's with or without connector's This although an expensive redesign would present considerable saving's to us. Regards and thankyou. Neil Snow Production Engineer.
