    Group,

    Does anyone know the digikey part numbers for the CF-28 and CF-29's CN(A) or CN-18 and CN-40 connector? I'd also need the cable to go between the two.

    The idea is to take the connectors/cable, and create my own GPS board, that'd go in the spot right next to the connectors, it'd screw into the stock screw bosses, I'm considering what I'd put on there, possibilities are a usb port for bluetooth or jumpdrive, gps, possibly a pic with some solid state relays controlled via software to control stuff like user added bluetooth, or whatever else the user would like to control.

    I have seen another thread somewhere with this info.... hopefully someone can show me the thread, I've lost it, lol.

    Much thanks,
    Knight.

    I don't remember either, it might be the gps thread that had info like the pitch info for the flat cable

    Check the CF-28 threads about halfway through if I remember.

    Just wanted to give out the Digikey part numbers that I found....


    1.18 Inch cable:
    WM14321-ND http://parts.digikey.sg/1/1/685700-cable-flat-flex-1-18-5mm-40pos-21020-0425.html

    Connector:
    OR729CT-ND http://ca.digikey.com/1/1/566650-conn-fpc-40pos-0-5mm-pitch-smd-xf2m-4015-1a.html
    or
    HFK140CT-ND http://ca.digikey.com/1/1/701038-conn-fpc-ffc-40pos-5mm-horz-smd-fh12a-40s-0-5sh-55.html

    Original poster that created a PCB for the CN18 used Molex Connector: 0541324062
    0.50mm (.020) Pitch FFC/FPC Connector, Right Angle, SMT, ZIF, Bottom Contact Style, 40 Circuits, 0.1m (4) Gold (Au) Contact Plating

    I am not 100% positive these are the correct cable/connectors, so if you order, only order one or two. When I get mine in, I'll confirm or deny that I ever made this post. :D
