That, at 20mm high if 4mm for exiting wire clearance is assumed, may be usable since its no higher than these crappy jumpers for stickout. A 50 way would fix it so they couldn't be plugged in out of step. I'll see about a 10 pack of the 50 ways as I may need others down the road, and 1100 of the inserts. Do you recall what crimper to use? I have a small one Radio Shack sold, but a decent crimp needs a vice grip helper on the jaws to make a good crimp with it. I've considered adding longer tubing handles but haven't used it enough to warrant the effort. Or that little tool some suggested I get might work, its 4 jaw setup works nice if I can adjust it to do the correct gas tight crimp, it comes too loose to do a ripped off ribbon cable wire, even if the end of the wire is doubled over. I'll get these on the way. Thanks Andy. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
