[sdiy] Molex connectors - physical dimensions

[Trevor Page]

Excellent - thank you Tony, this is absolutely perfect.

I'm normally pretty good at finding this sorta stuff for myself, but I guess
my tired eyes must have been closed or something :)

Currently burning the midnight oil, doing final final checks on these TR909
board designs before they go to the PCB house. I don't want them coming back
to find that I've been stupid enough not leave enough clearance for those
Molexes...

Cheers again

Yawn,

Trevor
