Great Plains is out of stock of their connectors for the Williams 40 pin interconnect, 09-48-2106 and 2420-10-2260. Can anyone confirm Parts WM3241ND and WM4008ND from Digi-key are suitable replacements, or let me now what is.

Thanks

Can't speak to the DigiKey replacements...sorry.

But Marco has the 10 position female headers in stock, Part #CFREH10. You'll need 4.

They list the male headers used with the above part as #CM15610, which appear to be just square snap-off 0.156 Molex pins without the locking ramp.

I remember buying an "interconnect kit" from Marco, but now it looks like they are only available individually.

Hi Guys,
Nobody answered the question in the first post so I will.
WM3241ND and WM4008ND are not good subs. Those two are 0.1" but you need 0.156" spacing.

Molex part number for the bottom entry connector was 09-52-3102 for the ten pin version but is now obsolete.
Molex replaced it with part number 09-48-2106. Looks a bit different than the original but works just fine.

The header was originally an extra long 0.156" header which is no longer made by Molex. GPE had headers custom (2420-10-2260) made to match the originals in pin length. Of course, you can also use the Molex 26-48-1241 as linked by pindude - will work fine. But the 26-48-1241 headers are a much shorter pin and tend to be a little bit more difficult lining things up.
