From now on we will require that a prefix is set for any items in the sales area. We have created regions and locations for this. We also require that you select a delivery option before posting your listing.
This will hopefully help us streamline the things that get listed for sales here and help local people better advertise their items, especially for local only sales.
New sales rules are also coming, so stay tuned.
OK, I can knock out schematics all day in KiCAD, etc., but when it comes to making a dimensioned drawing in CAD software to send somewhere to have a part reproduced, my hands suddenly have ten thumbs.
Is there anyone who has the time and capability?
Attached are a scan of the part, a clipping from the manual, and a crude sketch made after making measurements with a calipers.
As for payment, I could send over some money so whoever can order in a pizza or something.
I can do this tomorrow night for you in SolidWorks. You can then have a file you can send out to have it made. Sendcutsend.com can then make some or go wherever you want to go.
No charge as it looks pretty simple. If you have a preferred format, SolidWorks likely can export it as much. Just let me know.
Also, what measurements is this in? Inches?
My interpretation is X A = 0.755 - 0.283 ie. 0.472" -- B = 0.755 - 0.220 ie. 0.535" (Ah, I see where you got this) X C = 1.618 - (0.125 + 9 * 0.108 + 9 * 0.048) ie. 0.089" X D = A ie. 0.472"X
You are probably right on B. I'll fix it, once the requestor agrees with you. Thanks for the help. I'll take a 75% as passing
Also. to the requestor, do you want the pins beveled at the tips?
I agree with 1944GPW's calculations, but I got .077 for C?
Really, Dimension C isn't that critical as it's mainly there as a depth stop / cut line gauge.
See below to show how part is inserted - the shoulders serve as a depth stop, and the wide leg is a polarity key.
The 0.220 x 8 figure is the width of the material from the top of the slot to the top of the plug.
The 0.156 from CL to CL is the distance between the fingers (the connector in both cases is an AMP / TE Connectivity MTA connector with 0.156" spacing)
The sketch is looking good so far!
Yes, the tips need to be beveled front / back (for easier insertion into the connector)
Edit: Added picture of address plug in its original application - inserted from solder side due to component side being inaccessible in situ. Two legs have been clipped to set address 03.
OK,
Here you go....
Included as a PDF.
And, what form for you want to give someone? Review previous list or ask whoever is making it. If you give it as a PDF then someone else has to re-do it form my work. If you know they want a Solidworks file or Tiff file or whatever, just let me know. Also, some companies won't do the beveled edges but if they make it without it then you'll just have to do some manual work yourself. I've had Sendcutsend.com object to some fine detail work but they'll usually do the rest at least.
I would also supply a DXF, arguably the lowest common denominator in CAD formats, and the dimensions are intrinsic to the file. I used to get laser cutting of metal done with simple DXFs.
OK.
Here's a v3. I took some liberty to only round the tips on their face and backend. But I make them all more rounded on the sides as well but I find it may be unlikely that someone would make it to that level of precision.
But let me know.
Here are some files of v3. I zipped up the v2 and v3 files. If you need more changes. I may have time tomorrow night. Do someone else on the site a solid, pay it forward.
I haven't looked that far ahead. I'm just trying to get my files tidied up. Currently working on getting my hands on a few more of these units first before I figure how many I might want to order.
