Connecting pins for 82E08M EQ/Dyn siwtch cards with channel PCB
« on: December 01, 2019, 09:50:09 AM »
Hello,
Does anyone here know who the manufacturer is for the connecting pins that goes between the 82E08M 382 cards and the channel main PCB? to clarify these are the little H shaped pins that hooks onto the channel main PCB to pass signal without having to solder. The top pins hook into the bottom pins.
Please see attached photo.
Thanks in advance for any information.

I think that these were made by Vero, but I'm not certain - they're not available from them now.

channel strip designer J series 1992-93

The other suggestion is EDAC, they look very similar to their connector pins.

I think those connector pins were made by Varelco or maybe Amphenol.

When SSL bought them (I worked there from 1980-87), the pins were supplied on a white plastic strip and held in place (10th of an inch pitch?) to solder to the PCB as I recall and then the white securing strip was removed. All the channel modules were made in Brandon, Suffolk, UK so us in Oxfordshire were mostly unaware of all the parts used until the finished channels arrived at the SSL HQ.

The end metal U shaped soldered fitting holds M2 x pozipan screws I think (or maybe 8BA in those early times).

Hope this helps and good luck in your search for these parts. All my thoughts on this are based on memory some 40 years ago so, bear with me!
