Pins on Basic Stamp. Where to buy?

Pins on Basic Stamp. Where to buy?

Pins on Basic Stamp. Where to buy?

(OP)
OK, not really a circuit engineering problem, but does anyone know where to get the pins Parallax uses on their Basic Stamps.  I'm trying make a module that fits into a 40 pin socket.  The pins in question solder to the edge of a small PCB to make it function like a DIP chip.

Thanks,

J. B.

RE: Pins on Basic Stamp. Where to buy?

Digi-key and Mouser carried those at one time.  Don't know if they still do.  They had a minimum order quantity of 1000.  If they still have them, maybe the quantity requirement is lower now.

RE: Pins on Basic Stamp. Where to buy?

You can download the corresponding manual from the download section of www.parallaxinc.com.
The pinouts are at the beginning of the document.

RE: Pins on Basic Stamp. Where to buy?

jbartos and ElPaisa, I don't think either one of you carefully read the post.  He not asking for information about the Parallax product, he is asking where to BUY the pins that Parallax is using in their product.

RE: Pins on Basic Stamp. Where to buy?

Clarification: Since the Parallax pin source may be a proprietary item, my suggestion is that the Parallax is contacted and some suitable deal negotiated. This is normal in the business world unless one is an industrial spy.

RE: Pins on Basic Stamp. Where to buy?

Actually, they are a common item.  I know of a couple of companies that produce them.  I have designed them into products in the past.  Unfortunately, those companies only sell in high volume.  The last time I design them in, we were using a couple of million pieces a year.

RE: Pins on Basic Stamp. Where to buy?

One very common source of these pins is Mill-Max.  And they are very willing to sample the parts if you're a potential buyer.

I get them through Future Electronics (or their FAI division).
