Amiga 1200 edge connector pursuit
« on: May 04, 2016, 06:39:35 PM »
Hi :)
As you probably know I m designing now Vampire 1200 as a next and logical step in apollo-team development. Trick is that A1200 connectors are hard to find. We have some but that's not enough since demand will be high. Last few days I m researching as much I can and sending bunch of mails to various manufacturers, shops, re-sellers in fact to anyone who is somehow connected to edge connectors I need. What I would like to have is more information's. Part numbers of edge connector used on some A1200 accelerators, who used them, who build them, where did they found it. Any kind of drawings, pictures that can provide more information's. Anything is good. So far I have one part number FCN-225J150-G/A and some sullins drawings.

Jens is obvious source, but I have doubt that Jens is not interested.

Worst case scenario, determine what it would cost to do a manufacture run and post a gofundme here. I, for one, would be willing to chip in some since I have at least three A1200s that would love Vampires.

Thoughts :

Is it worth discussing his plans for A1200 reloaded ?

Since edge connectors are getting hard to come by would it make sense to offer some alternative connector on reloaded boards that is easy to obtain?

Do you think Jens wants to keep a monopoly or is any form of collaboration completely out of the question?

On the Apollo-core board, before it was wiped and started from scratch, "Team Apollo" members a few times mentioned "the enemy" (yes, like that), someone who they consider competition. Who can you think of that qualify for such kind words?

Have you tried to get a quote for a custom connector from SullinsCorp? They offer typical geometry connectors with custom number of contacts. Fortunately Amiga 1200 expansion connector matches their off-the-shelf designs.

Might I suggest for development purposes only , constructing a gender changer using two working connectors? - This way you could work with multiple board revisions without needing to solder on a new connector for each one.

This probably wouldnt be suitable for the final design but would allow you to continue working while trying to source a supplier.

I could ask some of the engineering teams here at Intel where they get the connectors we use. It shouldnt be hard to locate them. They all seem to be a standard edge connector. The contacts can be modified to fit the length of the A1200 easy enough if you find a source that is longer.

If I get some, just remember me when the A4000 compatible version comes out! :)

But why can't he order more? He has the drawings for manufacturing and connection to the factory from where he ordered them last time.

It is NOS so very limited supply. By creating new ones is not an option for now, or maybe it is if we find right manufacturer.

i think kipper looked into sullins, and the quote was something like $24ea. they are looking for a cheaper supplier i think.
