[sdiy] Tasty Crap in small packets

[Batz Goodfortune]

Y-ellow all.
         Here's a bit of a feasibility study. Room is a premium here. I 
like building things ultra small therefore. All my previous modular bits 
and piece,  -which don't amount to much any more.- have no space left in 
here these days, yet I need some fairly custom modules. All of which could 
be built on some tiny plug-in cards. Except for the front panel issues.

I can solve that largely by using some rather tiny and cute, finger 
adjusting trim pots by bourns which don't look too bad on a front panel. 
(There are obviously other solutions here as well) However, when you're 
module front panel measures about 1" by 4", what 'n' Shelly's Frankenstein 
could you use for sockets? Where even mini-jacks are too big. (not to 
mention unrealizable)

At this scale, banana sockets look like doughnuts. Including the cop 
munching on the other end. Other tiny solutions are either humungously 
expensive or just too damn cumbersome. Apart from the expense, a Pin-board 
matrix is not a good idea in a constantly evolving system. But something 
the size of an individual pin/socket, would be about the order of 
magnitude. Only with a cable on the end.

At this point this is purely academic but I found a cage system that I was 
going to deploy for something more mundane till I realized it would be 
ideal for a sub-miniature stack of modules. But there's no point in even 
ear-marking the system if I can't connect it.

Any thoughts would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
