Hope you don't mind if I ask you any questions while designing the board for this supply.
I've got a few extra if you want one to play with. I've been meaning to come up with a good way to distribute all that power, the connector's terminals aren't exactly held in well and I'm afraid they'd be a problem at some point soldering directly to them.
Kinda why I wanted to see an up close pic to see if your connector was different, or how you dealt with what I'm seeing.
The little pins I'm only connected to the power on and ground wires. Then I gopped on some hot glue to keep the little bastards still.
The big power connectors aren't goin anywhere.
That answers my question pretty well, thanks! The little pins can do some pretty neat stuff from what I've been reading. Hot glue sounds like a good way to keep them from doing neat stuff when you don't want it to. I'm also glad it runs 12V pretty steady without any further control needed, I thought it might take at least a resistor to set the 12V..
I'd agree that the big ones bite down pretty hard, I don't think they will go anywhere either. Those terminals slide out pretty easy when they aren't connected though. I was planning on clipping all the little pins off and soldering gangs of wires down inside the terminal.
Sucks about that other power supply connector, I just searched the P/N of the socket and found the plug P/N on digi's search. I'm sure you figured that out though, guess I just got lucky picking these supplies
