Thread: Edac convensions

I've had to do things like that before, it worked for me but I guess there could be situations where it wouldn't work, maybe do the first few and listen for any hum etc probs.
This may not apply to you jnj , but.
A couple of obvious things about edacs I learned the hard way; you can solder the pin and then insert it if you're starting with a new edac (m'barrassing admission) or have an extraction tool. (anyone know a DIY bodge for this?)
You can put on the whole cover assembly after it's all been soldered (or crimped).
These lessons took so long to learn cause I was always fiddling with old ones........

Thanks for the reply. I bought new so I am doing the assemly after soldering.

In my manual. my boards big brother edac schem had all the screens tied at the connector. But they also had a pin for each screen. I just thought maybe there might be a problem whith current density per pin or some such thing.

Thanks again,
jnJ

There shouldn't be a problem at all if all the screens are tied at the console input, 8 pins will be plenty IMO.

cool, thanks
