Inquiry Regarding Possible Alternatives for Male Long Deck Connector for Crazyflie

[wenhancao]

Dear Crazyflie Customer Support,

Recently, I've encountered a problem with my Crazyflie's Male Long Deck Connector as it has become bent. This has severely impacted the operation of my drone and I need to replace it. However, being a student, I am looking for a more affordable solution due to the substantial shipping fees and import taxes related to purchasing the connector directly from your store.

While looking for alternatives, I came across a product on Amazon with the following specifications:

Product Name: Straight Pin Headers
Pins: 40 Pins each Row
Row: One Row
Mounting Angle: Straight
Pin Pitch: 2.54mm
Pin Length: 25mm / 0.98"
Material: Plastic, Metal
Color: Black, Silver Tone
Weight: 119g
Package Content: 30 Pcs x Straight Pin Headers
I wanted to reach out to you to inquire if this particular product could serve as a compatible alternative for the Male Long Deck Connector. I am aware that this might not be an exact match, but I am hopeful that it might suit my needs.

In addition to that, I would also appreciate if you could provide any recommendations on the necessary specifications or even a direct purchase link for a suitable and more affordable connector. Your expert advice would be greatly appreciated.

The pin headers with the Crazyflie is custom made and I think it will be hard to find a compatible replacement, mainly due to the length of them. If you do want to give it a try you should look for pin pitch of 2.0 mm, the 2.54mm will not fit.

Are you sure you can not bend the pins back?

You could check if any local retailers has the Male long deck connector.
