500 Series Modules

[rlaury]

Hi Group and Merry Christmas to all.

Does anyone have the exact offset from "center" for the edge card connector
in the lunch box. I'm laying out a lunch box for some of the 500 series
modules. The connector seems centered within the 5.250" top to bottom
but I'm not sure of the center line off set.

Any Ideas??

Thanks
RonL

Exact... no, but roughly 0.42"

Thanks Peter for the reply.
I think I'm close at .413 but I guess I need to get one
one and actually measure it. I'm ready to commit to PCB's
and need to be dead on. I'm measuring from the center line of
the module to the center line of the modules PCB.

Ron,
I've just measured a real 525 and the centre of the pcb is more like 0.43" from the centre line of the module.
My units @ 0.42" fit just fine and dandy, so anything around there should do you nicely.
Unfortunately, API refuses to send me the true specs because I'm far too short, fat and ugly.

Serves you right for not replying to emails.

Hey Peter:
.430" makes sense to me. The way the material stacks up from the
outside edge of the front bezel, plus 1/2 of the PCB material is about .437 or 7/16" from the center line. Thanks for verifying that. I'll keep the group
posted on my progress.
