Well that was indeed dumb of me to not post a picture. Sorry. For the hook leads, I'm looking for a cheaper version of these (yes, these are cheaper than the $9.95 I mentioned, but they are out there for $9.95 too) https://www.alliedelec.com/product/pomona-electronics/3781-8-2/70198326/?gcl id=EAIaIQobChMI19XT4J6x6AIVA5-fCh3RLwsgEAQYASABEgIhFfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds When I'm looking for 20-30 of them, I'd like to keep the unit price much lower. Got to be much less than $1 in raw material there, and building them up should be that much labor. As to the edge connectors, I'm looking for various sizes of the blue version in this picture: http://www.missilecommand.org/misc/edge_connector.JPG If you look closely, on the pin side, the pins have a small hole in them that you can clip on the hook leads I want to find. As opposed to the green version which is just pins sticking out. Also the blue version only has one row of pins, no idea why, but obviously looking for a double row of pins.

Anyone have a good source for edge connectors of various sizes? I don't know what to call what I'm looking for, so it makes it hard to search for.
Trying to build up my test area environment. I have a good JAMMA set up, but I'd like to expand to test non-JAMMA (and build some of the more common PCB adapters to JAMMA). I'm looking for connectors that on one side is the female side, i.e., a flat male side edge connector would plug into it. On the other side of the connector would be two rows of pins. I looked at a couple of ones that I have and while I have the female side, the two rows of pins aren't the pins I'm looking for. They just have a pin. I'd like to get pins that are flat and have a small hole in them so I can easily use hook leads. I'd also like to get an assortment of different sizes (number of pins).
If I'm understanding correctly, you're looking for what I would describe as a "card edge breakout" board. Something like this https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13988 but obviously this is specific to a particular application?
And while I'm at it, anyone have a source for decent priced hook leads? The one's I've found are ridiculously expensive. $9.95 (plus shipping & tax) for a one foot piece of wire with a cheap hook on each end. Yikes. I guess I'm not very good at searching.
Posting a link to the $9.95 one would be really helpful so people can understand exactly what you're referring to. To me it sounds like you want a micro grabber but I have no idea what you want on the other end? Banana plug? https://www.ebay.com/itm/372963686218 Same thing is even cheaper with bare wire ends. That said, you pay for what you get. I usually look around eBay for Pomona brand being sold for a decent price. Tony
Thanks,
Joe
