For those in need of the APIM connector and don't want to use a donor APIM, this place has them in-stock and it looks like you can buy a quantity of 1 instead of Mouser's minimum order. The catch is this place requires a minimum $50 order... although you might get to that amount if you order everything else needed for the harness from them.
So the pins he found in that post will work with this header? Awesome.
I've purchased but have not assembled my harness yet but others who have can chime in. There seems to be mixed results so I suggest reading through the thread...
Yeah. I've noticed the mixed results, that is why i was asking. looking forward to your results.
If you look at the pic above that I reposted from nerdh3rd's post, you should be able to have enough of the male pin stick out for good contact if you grind/cut off enough of the back - that's at least my plan... I'm guessing there's a fine line between taking off too much and not enough.
Had a chance to start working on my harness... ground down the back of the APIM connector and did a dry run install of a male and female pin. I confirmed continuity with my multimeter so the male pins are long enough, just need to grind/cut down the back of the connector enough.
Why do you have to grind/cut down the back of the connector?
So the male pins stick out far enough to engage with the female pins in the mating connector. This assumes you use the male pins that nerdh3rd specified in his earlier post so you don't need to solder.
