I've finally ordered a 60 way TE connector (34+26).
Its a board mount connector but I have a 0.4.3 board with the 40 pin header. I'm inclined to cut the legs short and straighten the 90 degree bends, solder wires directly to the legs and heat shrink each individually. The alternative is to design and order a custom pcb (from JLC PCB or similar), but I've not designed a PCB before and not sure it will add any value.
What do others do?
