Yet another lesson learned on the elusive Samtec 25-pin edge connectors. I had ordered some from DigiKey back in the spring (May?) based on their claim (at the time) that they would ship in June. That never happened and the chat representative was now saying they had no estimated date. So I cancelled that. the Samtec web site pointed me to Newark which said they have them in stock, and sure enough their web site reports:
Two key phrases there: “supplier direct ship” (i.e. Samtec will ship… except Samtec says they don’t have any); and “non-cancelable”… but I liked the part about “with you in 2-3 business days”.
So I said what the heck, and placed an order… now I see:
And:
So these really are basically unavailable for the next two months. Hopefully that won’t slip further. At least DigiKey let me cancel but not so with Newark
In the mean time the best bet is probably to use Terry Smedley’s trick of using the original style Molex edge connectors, though you’ll have to build up from smaller ones (e.g. two 10-pin and two 15-pin)… this has been discussed here so you could search the google archive to find more….

I did send some Samtec connectors to Canada to help out Henry Broekhuyse with his Z80 V4 board assembly and the price came to #13.54 USD. That is the lowest I was able to get via USPS.

If anyone wants to group order these guys from onlinecomponents, I would be interested in 6.
Shipping to Canada is $30US, a bit on the high side and UPS sucks in Canada. USPS works great though.

At the risk of beating this dead horse even further:
Amazon seller "DataAlchemy" sells the full-width 25-pin Molex connector with gold contacts. They are drop-shipping from OnlineComponents in Chicago, which lists 106 in stock as of today. I have ordered from both of these sources in the past and the connectors were shipped UPS the same day I ordered them.

(Don't be put off by the generic photograph of a six-position connector - this item is the real-deal Molex 25-pin connector.)
