Where to get low profile female header sockets?

[gregcope]

Hi

Does anyone have a source, or part number for low profile female pcb sockets. 2.54mm pitch.

The ones i have are 8mm high, when I have seen some that are around half this height.

I need 14 pins or more.

Ideally UK, or cheap shipping to the UK.  I found some on RS, however they were $4 each...

I only need a few.  Massive minimum order numbers not helpful.

Anyone any ideas?

I don't know that they make them any lower.. the male pins would also have to be shorter.  How about machine headers;

:-). Thanks Sparky.

Tried those.  They do not fit my IC or other board.  The do not take square male pins.

You happen to know the height your looking for?

Possibly this one;

Sprry. Height about 4mm would be nice.

Yes sparky that would probably work!

Any ideas where i can order some for uk delivery at reasonable cost?

They are really hard to source, I only found 1 vendor on ebay, but they are fine, only in 40pin, but it's easy to cut

Thanks. 5mm height looks good

You're welcome
If you know how to source the corresponding male headers, I'll take it

Would turned pin do?

Good idea.  tried those.  The force to get normal pins into those is fierce.

But as I can control the male end on one project, this gives me an idea!

thanks

Check out adafruit. Search for short female header. They are 5mm vs 8mm.
