Flea clips?

[stretch2011]

I found some on mouser from keystone. Just search flea clip, only thing that pops up. Mouser # is 534-1500

Just thought I'd share the information for any interested.

Did you try to order them? IIRC they aren't the same as the TW flea's anyway....unless they started making them again

No I Havnt. I have no idea I've never seen the originals in the train wreck. I don't really see a reason to use them although I know there is one.

Haven't seen a reason to use them? maybe because you haven't use them. I wouldn't build another clone if I don't have them but it's just me.

They are not made any more, the number you posted is for some other type clip. People call them flea clips, but they look more like a little 3 blade gizmo.

So what does a real flea clip look like??

That is what they look in my original TWs also. Two side by side tangs, then a 3rd tang 90 degrees from the other two. They are quite handy in how they can hold several leads and they don't all have to share the same slot. Not so easy to install in the board however.

I have lots of them but it takes lots to build an amp... nothing like the modern ones I've found. What i found with them is that they are really thin which makes them easy to solder without hitting them with a lot of heat... which is very helpful when using the non irradiated pvc wire. I think one other advantage of them is that less metal is also less antenna material. Does anyone know what Jon Mark is using these days?

After digging around Allmony said that the "IMP terminals" were original parts. Searched around an these came up http://www.mouser.com/ds/2/215/M55p100-30768.pdf. Still available. They look close to the vector T28 terminals and after soldered to probably not noticeable. I have some original ingrid white /clear vector bord in .042 holes. Ingrid and the other wrecks that use the mentioned terminals are the .062 holes boards. I plan on drilling my board out to .062. The new Vectorbord with H pattern (Ingrid style) is a clear yellow now so it wont look original clear/white.

As far as JMs Wrecks the photo that is floating around looks to be the later KF terminals used. Either the Vector T28 or what Allmony says Keystone IMP
