need some connector recommendations

[mobile_bob]

i am looking for a source for ide hard drive connectors, i believe they are 40 pin type
they need to be male pin outs, and mounted 90degrees from the board.

anyone have a source?

You mention PINS, meaning the connector would be the DRIVE side, the cables generally are sockets.

40 pin is usually the 5" desktop drive, not the tiny laptop drive, right ?

SAMTECH connectors makes them, and digikey is a vendor.  You can usually call SAMTECH and get a sample in a couple days.

I thought the search would be easy.  That was harder than I thought...

What you want to look for is Shrouded Right Angle headers.  .100" x .100" or 2.54mm x 2.54mm pitch.

Hopefully this is what you're looking for.
