Sometimes part numbers change. I try to
keep up, modifying both this page and the construction page to keep them in
sync. BTW, it's often Jameco part numbers that change, to accommodate
new ROHS compliant parts. If the part number I reference is not found, try
searching Jameco for the text of the part name instead of the part number. For
example, search for "HEADER,ST MALE,1RW,10PIN"
if you can't find "103391".
