pictail plus connector

Hi everybody!
I'm looking for part number (type) of 120 pin PICtail PLUS edge connector which is mounted on Explorer 16 board.
Could anybody look on Explorer 16 board ane write me any numbers from it?
Have you ever made Explorer 16 board byself?
I thing ist a good idea (the same like ICD2 Clone), because Explorer 16 manual contains schematic...
Thx a lot for answer!

Regards...

I don’t see any part number on mine. I wouldn’t recommend trying to build your own, it’s a pretty dense board. I would just buy one they are cheap for what you get. If you would like some measurements on the 120 pin connector still I can measure the contact spacings etc.

And you're right, this connector is available in Microchip Direct. 8,82EUR + shipping costs... I hope I'll find some the time to build the Explorer 16.
Not long ago I finished my own PICkit2 programmer. I'll describe it soon.
