hhkb rainbow ribbon cable
« on: Sat, 03 November 2012, 06:51:39 »
I'm working on replacing the controller of an hhkb, and I'm looking for a suitable ribbon cable.  The rainbow cables that I've found thus far have been too large.  Any recommendations on where I might find the lower gauge rainbow flat ribbon cable and possibly the small, single-row connectors?

mouser or digikey?
Its connector is 1.5mm pitch I think most of flat cables around you are no problem, though.

Did you check this thread yet? It might give you some clues.

Thanks, I'm familiar with the thread, but I overlooked the links to products.  I salvaged a cable from an old laptop that looks about right, but I ordered one of the connectors from digi-key.
