small pcb interconnect options help

[fvnktion]

Hello,

Im currently trying to design a pcb that is roughly .500x.500 " in size and i need to interconnect via a header or some other form. I can not find any breakaway headers under 2mm in pitch. I would like to use something more on the scale of a .050 " or 1mm pitch. It would seem that there is a reason that they are not manufactured in these sizes??

Does anyone have any recommendations on getting a maximum number of i/o interconnects to a board this size?? An edge connector, cable, header??

Any recommendations would be great!

Thanks

0.5mm header usually comes in the form of smt parts and uses FPC (flexible printed cct) cable for the interconnection. You can find these headers in use inside cellphones & pdas etc.
