Hi everyone, I'm trying to author an IDC connector and I'm having difficulties, the ribbon generated when testing the part before publishing is twice as wide as expected:
I've tried the same exercise with a connector supplied with content center and it works fine, I can't see what the difference is ... can someone enlighten me? Why is the ribbon generator seeing the last pin as the middle of the ribbon? I have inserted a work point in the middle of the row of pins as per the content center part but that seems to be doing nothing!
Both files attached:
Samtec IDC ... New file
Ribbon Cable ... Content center file
Many thanks

Your connector pitch is .025..
Did you choose a ribbon cable with a .050 pitch?
Thank you, the cable pitch was the problem!
I hadn't appreciated that a 0.025 pitch cable is required on a 0.05 pitch connector due to the way in which the IDC contacts are staggered ...
