Edge connector for dbx 900 Series cards

[pvision]

I have a couple of dbx 903s to rack up. The contact pitch is 4 mm, as close as I can measure it, which seems odd for a US-made product. The closest thing I can find at Farnell is a 3.96mm pitch connector

The dbx connector has 15 ways. I have found a couple that look close:

Any suggestions as to the ideal part? Or does anyone have a couple?

Many thanks

It's 0.156"  = 3.96mm

That should get you started.

The standard API car edge connector is working fine. 15pins @ 3,96mm.
Attached a pic of my dbx 900 measuring adapter for my 51x measuring adapter

Those card edge adapters are way cheaper with PCB pins purchased from Jeff Steiger or me, you might ask Cemal in the UK.

Ah, many thanks. I didn't know it used the same connector as API cards.
I wonder where 0.156 inches came from? It's not an obvious pitch - or not to me anyway

5/32" = 0.15625", FWIW.

Five thirtyseconds of an inch - that's as oddball a measurement as I've ever heard!

Thanks, Gene

There are a couple of complete racks on ebay for pretty cheap (one under $100usd).  Dont know if you're looking for a full rack but you could certainly part it out.

Thanks for that. Sadly by the time they get to the UK they will have doubled or tripled in price. I believe they are quite heavy so shipping + purchase + VAT on the whole lot will make one quite expensive
