Power header suggestion #4

Open SanguineBrah opened 2 weeks ago

SanguineBrah commented 2 weeks ago

If you ever decide to make another revision of the PCBs, I would recommend using something like a Molex KK or floppy-style berg header footprint for powering the board. This should make it difficult to plug the power in backwards by mistake.

Yeah, the floppy-style connector would be ideal. Do you happen to know of any part numbers for it?

SanguineBrah commented 1 week ago

The straight header is TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 171825-4 and the right angle version is 171826-4. They are a little strange because the pin spacing is 2.5mm instead of the usual 2.54mm (0.1'').

Thanks!
