Socket for StepStick A4988 - reference to part?
October 02, 2014 05:38PM
Hi. I'm looking for a part number or a reference, or precise sizing information to order a socket for a StepStick that can be soldered onto a PCB. I know it uses two standard breakaway pin headers with 8 pins on each side, but I do not know precisely how far apart the two headers are on a stepstick.

Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.

My drivers pins are 0.5 inches across. Eagle files for the StepStick show the same
I don't think this is a standard socket size.
I would use two 8 pin 0.1 inch spacing headers spaced 0.5 inches apart

StepSticks are open source, so you can download this source and look at the layout.

George4657 is right, there is no specific Pololu/StepStick header.
