<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">I used Amp 225-22821-401 on my clone build - I believe the main difference is that this is a black body gold version and of the 5 connectors I got, they ranged from definitely touching to barely touching. IIRC, I inserted a card and adjusted the leads on the solder side so they could settle into place safely with no card inserted. If the original doesn't connect the slot to the PCB in the same way (connector + linking PCB + connector) I'd be scared of them shorting if the solder leads aren't secured in place somehow.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div>Nathan</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Mar 19, 2022 at 9:02 AM mark verbos via Synth-diy <<a href="mailto:synth-diy@synth-diy.org" target="_blank">synth-diy@synth-diy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Hi there,<br>
<br>
I have a Buchla 208 I built from parts from Buchla’s garage sale. I used the proper (expensive as hell) Amphenol 225-22821-110 edge card connector for the card slot on the front panel. The pins from the two sides are touching each other when no card is installed, causing the module to short power out. Is this normal for these connectors? Is there a way to stretch it out? Anyone have experience with this?<br>
