Gary Chang's case design

2002-06-10 by grantrichter2001

Hello All,

Gary Chang has designed a very nice compact case for his 
Wiard modules. I have uploaded a picture of the initial aluminum 
back piece to the photos section.

Gary and I are doing the power wiring differently for this case 
design. The DIN plug in back is eliminated and the DC supply is 
distributed by Blacet PSCONs located behind the jack boards. 
Power wiring comes out through the slot in the module cover.

I have asked Gary to get a quote for a 6 module wide version of 
this case. If the price is not too outrageous, I'm going to try and 
come up with a standard design. It would be nice to find a way to 
fit a Blacet PS500 supply inside the case also.

The wooden cases look very nice, but they add a lot of space. I 
have been meaning to explore a more space saving case 
design, but it seems Gary has already come up with the most 
compact possible design.

Existing modules could be retrofit to the case by soldering a new 
power connector to the PC boards.

Of course the aluminum case could be anodized blue or black 
(silver, plum?)
