Re: Need advice: Connecting LEDs to PCB |

I would like to make a light display with many LEDs connected by wires of
various lengths. I would like to use some sort of header and connectors to
connect the LEDs to the PCB. The LEDs will be controlled by a PIC through
shift registers. Each LED can be turned on and off indendently.
I've never used headers or connectors. I was thinking I could use something
like a 2-row x 20 header and then use a 2-position molex housing for each
LED. How are these connectors fastened to the wires? Do I need a special
tool?
Is there a better way to do this?

If you do not care about the size of the LEDs, then use surface mount
LEDs, placed in the
4 desired patern on a PCB; wiring to the header via traces on the PCB. |
