Hello everyone,

Thanks for taking a quick peek at this, I have only very recently picked up an embed, and before I get in too deep I want to make a quick baseboard. I am having a problem finding female header pins that match the male reciprocal from the mbed. I know I could just pop it into one of my breadboards, but it would be so much neater to have a unit that I could plug and play. I know the pitch is 0.1" and the spacing is 0.9. Could anyone possibly post links to such a product,

many thanks

Alex

I normally make my own. I use something like the Samtec SSW series (try SSW-120-01-G-S or similar). Samtec are really good for supplying samples of parts for you to try out in designs - look here http://www.samtec.com/suddenservice/samples/samples.aspx
