I made this thread about my Toshiba LCD find and I want to wire it to my parallel port (Which my Motherboard is missing so I have to buy an add in card:mad:) anyway I need a 2 X 9 crimp housing as I have all of the pins that I ordered from a previous failed project (Don't ask as I feel stupid enough for ruining a $50 VFD) I just need to know the appropriate part number to order (I need a molex part because I have Molex brand crimp pins and they are not compatible with the other brands housings (Like Amp/Tyco) now my question is what does molex mean by a circuit (I know an electronic circuit needs two wires) but I want to make sure I order the right part because last project I ended up cutting up an old IDE cable because the part I ordered was too short (Not enough pins) I need a two row each row with 9 Pins so 9 X 2 and I need the non polarized style "A"
Here is a link to the Molex page for the product I need I just need help finding the appropriate part number (I assume I would need the 10 Circuit version as I don't see a 9 circuit version and the extra pins would just hang off as my LCD connector is non-polarized and non-shrouded so I assume I could use that but I just want to make sure before I order the wrong part (Again :D)

Thanks and sorry for the lenghtly post I just wanted to make sure I got all of the information available to the forum
Thanks again :D
