I needed some connectors to connect the 50 pin connector of the EA baseboard to a separate PCB. Pololu has some connector shells and pre-crimped wires that allow you to build your own plugs, but they didn't have a 50x2 one like EA needs. I did find some at Tyco Electronics, and you can request samples of both the housing and the mating pins/receptacles at no charge.

It was kind of a pain to crimp all of those receptacles, so instead of that I'd recommend getting the housing above and buying the pre-crimped wires from pololu
