Re: [motm] Connector survey

Paul,

I would think that using 16, 18, or 20 with the ability to serial chain the 
boards, would extend the 900 past it's capacity, or would give you a single 
board that does not allow the use of the available capacity.  Of course one 
could buy a larger Power-One supply.

I would like to see either a 22 or 24 connector board, with wider 
spacing.  Or keep the current 12 connector type, but add the screw terminal 
blocks.  This would allow mounting two boards in a "big ass case" which 
would reduce the length of the individual cables going to each module.
