Agreed. In my use, there is no audio going threw the dip header, only decade counter outputs so I think I'm safe. It was a no brainer - 16 counter outs through a 16 pin dip header - too easy to pass up. <BR>
<BR>
Analogue Systems uses these dip headers for their power distribution from the motherboard to the modules as well, but double up to two wire pairs for reasons of current flow. I think this is a little risky and have elected not to use these dip headers for this purpose and went with the 'standard' (if only there could be such a thing) four pin molex configuration of 1= +15, 2 and 3= ground, 4= -15.<BR>
<BR>
btw - for any of you who concern themselves (rightfully so) with power distribution, Cynthdustires has relased a very nifty little distribution board called the Combo Distro, which not only provides a connector bus for the config mentioned above, but also adapts each to the MOTM three pin format as well (you have two connector options per bus tap). Smart idea and a good solution to what otherwise would/could/should be a headache.<BR>

<BLOCKQUOTE>Re: [sdiy] 16pin dip header Just want to add tast (IMHO) dip header cables are the best. I'm using them for the interconnects on the five Milton boards (counting engine to the four bank boards) and they are reliable as all get up. In contrast, on my first sequencer I used Molex cabling (a whopping 96 signals via these connectors) and things aren't always working as a result.<BR>
<BR>
My feeling, save the hassles for the truly mysterious parts of DIYing and keep your interconnects as simple as they ought to be. For me, this meant dip header cabling.<BR>

<BLOCKQUOTE>Oops,<BR>
<BR>
I just sent this message, but not to the list. Mouser has them, you need to buy the ribbon separate and assemble them yourself. They are on page 178 of the older catalog 607 I have here.<BR>
<BR>
Part number is 151-2P16 and $.83 $.64 if you buy 10<BR>

<BLOCKQUOTE>Hello,<BR>
<BR>
Can anybody reccomend good source for 16pin dip<BR>
headers for ribbon cable? I've checked around the<BR>
usual places: mouser et. al. I'm curious if someone<BR>
here knows of the end-all source for cheap reliable<BR>
dip headers.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks in advance,<BR>
