Hi, do you guys know where can I buy cheap DB25 (D-Sub 25 pin) male
connector and shell? As shown in the following picture:

these will be connected to computer's parallel port.

I need around 50 or 100 of them, based on the price. Thanks!

My email is go77306 at yahoo dot com

Thanks

Almost any decent electronic supply shop should have those.
Or you could buy cables ready-made and customize from there.

Yes, I know. But I want cheap ones. Most places sell them at least USD
0.7 per pair. so I'm looking for cheaper ones. Thanks

Personally, I think 70 cents _is_ pretty cheap, but good luck.

anecdote:

There used to be a place called Olsen Electronics in Detroit when I
lived there. They had really cheap parts. Some of the parts tended
to melt when soldered. Cheap isn't always a good thing. ;-)

The connector is pretty easy to find relatively cheap.

The housing is another story. 70c is really a good price for both of
them, specially in such small quantities.

That's one of the reasons Olsen went out of business in the early
'80s! :) They were based in Akron Ohio and tried to expand too fast.

Long time no hear from you, Mike. Glad to see you're still alive and
kicking. ;-)
