Re: [vintagesynthrepair] edge card connectors supplier?

2006-06-05 by Antoine DeschĂȘnes

Just searched a bit, here's what I found.

These are card-edge connectors. If the spacing is like an ISA card, it's 
0.1" or 2.54mm. There are some at Mouser. The only thing is that they're 
almost all to mount on ribbon cables.
