My basic design for my 8051 programmer/system combo is setup.
However, what I want to do is make a bus connection point. Initially, I thought of using a jumper block (about the size and style of an onboard floppy drive connector), but the only problem I see is that I cannot connect the wires through it. In other words, I want wires to come out of both ends.

I am working on a single sided PCB and would like to use the least amount of wires to jump traces.

Here is an image:



What it is showing is that I'm trying to figure out how to include a connector which connects the pins to all of the address and data lines, without disrupting the other connections.

I have a problem with using standard jumper blocks (like the floppy jumper block found on pentiums), because the spacing is so small, I'm afraid that when I drill, I'll drill directly through the track.

I have a problem using a parallel port plug and a serial port plug as a connector for the same reason.

Also, I like to make my tracks thick enough so that when I solder, the track won't lift so easily off of the board.

I usually keep my track lengths to a minimum of 0.38 mm.

I shop at Sayal Electronics (website is sayal.com). I was wondering if anyone can suggest a better connector, that Sayal offers.

I need both the male and female version, of the connector, because I will make add-on components.
