The flat ribbon cable for the floppy drive is keyed and respectively, the RED STRIPE denotes pin # 1 on the Floppy Drive Connector. Do check that that is correct. As a simple test, remove the floppy drive and power up without the drive connected. D

Yeah we had an issue with the b3 dongle which we were fortunately able to fix by replacing the usb connector on the dongle. The price they quoted for the dongle was absurd. Thanks for the info. The software on the b3 is really flaky and it crashes a

1) I am not aware of anyone making a snap on plastic housing either. 2) How can components short the connector? Are they dead shorts (components touching). If so, means bad design! 3) Could try some RTV compounds instead of kapton tape. However u wil

Hi, Your right guys, and we turned off the chip wave, and most of the problem went away. It looks much better, and we are getting a slight bridging on a USB connector at the front edge of the PCB and a little adhesion, but not any where as much as w

I'm having an issue with a particular board we run in our wave solder. it has a USB connector with 4 pins that are 3mm x3mm square. we are constantly getting abridge across at least two of the pins, but sometimes all 4. I've run out of ideas on ho

Simulating with what? In developed countries manual labour is expensive but is also still the most common solution to fitting though hole parts, even if the board are then wave-soldered. Mixing SMT and THT on what sounds like a very simple product wi

I'm out here on the leftcoast. Actually, our method for removal is: break down the sides, pull each pin individually. It's tedious and time consuming, but it can be accomplished with little risk of damaging the board. Customers are curious, however.

Todd, It's been a while since I have looked at this but I believe the IP-1 does not have a relay board for the feeders. +24 Vdc is wired to a pin on the connector and the I/O board (NO 3 I think) switches the ground. If you don't have +24 Vdc at 1

As I understand it, customized equipment for breaking the headers out can get fairly expensive. I've used two methods to do these, other than using cutters. First, we bought a bandsaw to use for cutting. The only disadvantage to using the bandsaw

Hi, sorry but i am new in this. This is a Freescale SRB ZigBee node schematic design. 1)Can anyone help me identify what is the use of the 10K ohm resistor (R115) used? Seems that there is some advantages and disadvantages of using it. The source is
