Hi. I used a 2*5 holes 0.2inches spacing ribbon cable connector from the default eagle library and ordered a board, only to find out such part doesn't exist on digikey. I am wondering if any of you guys know where I can find that specific connector. The part is called "SH5-5" under "con-rib" in eagle default library. Thanks!
Never heard of 0.2 spacing ribbon cable - do you have some?
He said 0.2 inch spacing ribbon cable -connector-. Which would require 0.1 inch spacing ribbon -cable-. Something I've seen, but not often, and not for quite a while. Much more common is 0.05 inch spacing ribbon -cable- used with 0.1 inch spacing ribbon cable -connectors-.
This place has tons of IDC ribbon connectors.
but I don't recall seeing anything but 0.05" ribbon cable, and 0.1" pitch and maybe 2mm pitch connectors.
I think you're only real option is making up an adapter cable to go from 2x5 0.1" pitch pins down to the board.

with wires on the short side down to the board, and the long side for a regular IDC header to plug onto.
Okay thanks!
