Many folk may wonder ... "why do you bother Russ?" It's just a very small electronic component
SUSTAINABILITY:
To many this small packet of connector components would be destined for the rubbish bin, however I am big on reusing or repurposing old electronic components and hardware, particularly from the point of view of sustainability.
Sustainability far more than NOT burying waste material back into the earth but consciously recognising the energy expended to create the item through it's various "stages" in life, beginning with the raw materials being extracted from the earth, processed, finished and then fitted into equipment - every single step used energy which is referred to as embodied energy.
To give an approximate representation of how much energy was used in the WHOLE production process of an item, I have created what I refer to as the Ee (Embodied Energy) value, measured in Mj
The Ee value is an approximation only and usually measured in Mj.
Coming up with an Ee value is an attempt to take into account the energy used for extracting and processing of the raw materials, manufacturing of the component, distribution of the component(s) and final assembly of the component. In fact the measurement of Ee can become extremely complicated and highly technical, many tertiary institutions are involved in this specialised field of science.
I have used various reliable sources online to arrive at approximate Ee values for various products and material, these are approximations and the sole purpose of this information is to raise awareness of the extraordinary amount of energy consumed in the creation of various electronic components and hardware - it may give you cause to think twice before wasting all that energy and burying it in the ground, with the possible side-effects of poisoning the environment due to leeching.
HERE is a page I have created which gives some tables and more detailed information about specific Ee values for different materials plus a link which you can use as a starting point to investigate Ee for yourself.
Old Stock from the workshop drawers, good 'ol Utilux headers ... remember Utilux? Now part of the TE Connectivity Group of companies
HEADER WITHOUT CRIMP PINS
Manufacturer: Utilux (Australia)
Catalogue: M6471.8 // M6471.16
K K Connector Series
Most headers that I have available are 8 pin but one is a 16 pin (more expensive too)
2.54mm pitch
Each header is available individually, sold on a "per each" basis - use the selection box on this page to determine which header type and how many you would like - automatic pricing discounts apply for 2+ purchases.
What about the pins? Yes, I do have these but they are listed separately (they were living in their own packet so I have kept them listed separately as users may require differing pin counts for their headers)
COSMETIC CONDITION:
NEW Old Stock
CLEAN
NO damage to the headers
