<DIV>"So looking at the card <STRONG>from the</STRONG> <STRONG>component
side</STRONG>, the DIN connector is on the bottom, connectors on the left.
So nothing should be in top or to the right?"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Wouldn't the connectors be on the right, according
to Phil's (N8VB) "ATLAS PLUG-INS" drawing note in the Plan View? (Upper left
hand corner)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>By the way, Phil, N8VB; I like the concept you have
shown in the "ATLAS PLUG-INS" drawing!</FONT></DIV>

text/plain; charset="us-ascii"<BR><BR>Phil and group,<BR><BR>Attached is a
mechanical drawing I did to hopefully understand the dimensions of an individual
card. I placed 100mm, 120mm, 160mm, and 185mm dimensions.<BR><BR>Will
someone tell me what the base measurement system will be (metric or
inches)? I think it should be metric, however, the DIN 41612 has base
dimensions appear in inches.<BR><BR>Phil, in your ATLUS PLUG-INS drawing, you
show 12.6 mm from the bottom of the PCB to the end of the DIN 41612 plug.
I think this is actually 7.37 mm. The 12.6 mm is the top of the DIN plug
plastic to bottom, not how it is mounted to the PCB.<BR><BR>The DIN plug that I
used what the one Lyle called out for JANUS (AMP P/N 650473-5).<BR><BR>I don't
really understand the "external connector area". Is this PCB
material? Or is this just an placeholder? What is the interface
plane?<BR><BR>So looking at the card from the component side, the DIN connector
is on the bottom, connectors on the left. So nothing should be in top or
to the right? What notes should be added to this drawing to aid the
prospective card designer? Hopefully this drawing can be used as a basis
for anyone starting a card. Everyone, please comment on the dimensions you
think should be put on it.<BR><BR>The other drawing I would like to do has
common components that should be on all plug in boards (serial epprom,
etc.). I need help if someone could list what these items are. I can
look at JANUS and OZY for examples.<BR><BR>- Steve N7HPR<BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
