Suggestions for SMS edge connector #1

Open chipnotic opened 2 years ago

chipnotic commented 2 years ago

Hi! Was wondering if you have any specific suggestions for the SMS edge connector? Something that can work and be brought from say Mouser or Digikey?

Closest I've seen to the one mentioned in the BOM is the 3415-0000 made by 3M. I haven't checked the datasheet thoroughly but this is an IDC connector with mounting lugs, so pretty much ideal albeit quite expensive. There are others on DigiKey with the lugs but then just with pins that you'd need to solder to, so more work but also a lot more reasonably priced. I would love to hear if anyone gets any other connectors to work and ideally start building a library of STL files for mounting them.

I'm repairing a GG (cap replacement and a few upgrades) once I know it is running right I'll order a few and see if I can get any to fit/work :)
