Or you can make your own IDC Ribbon cables to various different connectors.
All you need is a small bench vice to clamp all the pins into the IDC Ribbon cable.
Its easy! Do try it and save yourself some $£.
I use two small bench vices for 64-pin Ribbon cable. No trouble.
All these bits & pieces you can order from Newark.com on your side of the Pond / Stateside or farnell / RS over here in Old Blighty.

Ok, checked out the prices for pre made. NOT Cheap.
I think I'm going to make them myself thanks.

Hi Al1234
I have made up a great many different adaptors.
You can attach whatever you like to a IDC Ribbon cable.
Just need some heat shrink tubing that strengthens the bond between the thin IDC Ribbon cable wires and any other wires to a connector of your choice as shown on attached photo.
