I've recently purchased a Bourns EM14 rotary encoder to play with: http://goo.gl/1PpR5
The 6 pins are spaced at .05", instead of the .1" that I'm used to. Consequently, the component won't fit into any of my breadboards or interconnects.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to jack this component into a prototyping system so I can begin to experiment with it. Any suggestions?
Bourns makes an inexpensive cable that would be perfect (http://goo.gl/y7S0K ) but I can't find anywhere that currently stocks it.
One option would be to just buy a cable connector with the correct pitch and enough channels to accomodate the EM14 (for instance http://goo.gl/odtrd ) but I'm wondering if there's a simpler method that I haven't considered.
Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks!
