Connector spec


Idea 1: "Horned connectors" going sideways

  • Positively locking
  • Board-edge would look very neat
  • Board-edge would take up too much space - we have  130mm width, 60mm per board is not enough margin

Idea 2: Back to proper backplane

  • Vertical connectors on modules pass through slots in the sleds, connect to the backplane
  • Screwing everything to a common sled is positively locking
  • Less wires means less integration hassle
  • Need to specify connector offset on each module
  • Radio module needs to send SMA connectors through the  sled or out
