Cable Shrouds and Holder for DuPont (Arduino) .1" connectors

cults3d

NOW WITH SLIP ON SHROUDS! (Slips over pins w/o disconnecting!) .ZIP package includes STL files for DuPont Shrouds in 2, 3, 4, 5, 5X, 6 and 8 stations plus a cable holder to keep your connections from falling apart while still allowing rapid disconnection when needed. Arduino is wonderful for breadboarding and rapid prototyping. However the interconnecting wires, called DuPont connectors have no grouping or locking mechanism, and will often fall apart by their own weight. Additionally the individual socket parts make connecting multi pin blocks troublesome. Enter the pin shroud. Slide the shroud for the number of pins used over one end and hold in place with a drop of gel superglue on the back of the pin housing (you can see the pin/socket from the front side). The shrouds allow rapid and accurate reconnection and the cable holder prevents accidental disconnection Three additional files have been added: DuPont3SlipOn.stl DuPont4SlipOn.stl DuPont5SlipOn.stl These three shrouds have slits in the sides so that they can be placed over existing wiring without disconnecting. You can use a dab of epoxy to lock everything in place or you can leave them loose and still keep the connection tight in the ConnectorClamp.stl holder. I'm working on the other sizes. Man these are worth paying for -- but they're still free! LOL
