Neo 2 slot...is this fixable? (cont')

NGT · Jul 15, 2006

well, got my 2 slot and it's the LONG version, lol...damn this thing is big. The holes where the 2nd slot should hook into look VERY clean and unused...which is weird. Also, what's this little thing grounding out the 5v???

That's the craziest thing I've seen. It looks like it never had a 2nd slot, way to clean looking to have been removed.

El Capitan · Jul 15, 2006

No idea why that's briding the 5V....

The little holes would be that clean - desoldering can be a very neat process!

Neo Ash · Jul 15, 2006

Plug it in and let us know if it works okay.

I would not worry about it, you got a good deal.

I'm not worried about anything...I just want to fix it and find out what the little thing grounding a +5v pin is doing there

JMKurtz · Jul 15, 2006

It's a diode -- which allows current to flow in one direction. Not sure why it would be on there like that. You can remove it without any issues.

I've got my catalogs out so I'll see if I can find any info on a 60 pin header for you.

great! THANK YOU! I appreciate it!

I figure with it being so clean it shouldn't be hard to pop in there.

Magnaflux · Jul 15, 2006

Do you need another slot for that thing?

I have some spares I'm not using.

DaemoN · Jul 15, 2006

That diode is there so if by any chance you plug the board backwards, it wont shoot flaming +5v of hell where it shouldn't go, thus frying your board.

Anyone with a decent soldering station and a solder sucker could remove the whole slot in a clean manner ;-)

pm coming your way!

JMKurtz · Jul 15, 2006

You might want to take Magnaflux up on the connectors as I can't find anything.

This is the part that fits the AES :

http://catalog.tycoelectronics.com/TE/bin/TE.Connect?C=1&M=BYPN&PID=10135&PN=1-530841-1&I=13

I was hoping they would have them in 60 pins, but couldn't find anything.

Digikey used to sell the 50 pos for the AES (1-530841-1), but now you need to order over 900 pcs of them at once, and at $11ea, well, no thanks.

Good luck.

I did

Thanks for the link too!! Yeah, that's a crazy price and amount.

did anyone ever figure out how to have one slot AES and one slot MVS?

It should be possible to order a sample from them.

ttooddddyy · Jul 15, 2006

MKL you a mine of usefull info.

Do those guys have anything to do with RS components, its just the logo font makes me wonder.

RS do not stock these afaik.

MKL · Jul 15, 2006

Hirose is a Japanese connectors manufacturer (with branches in other countries, including USA). RS is just a distributor, they carry some Hirose parts but not these connectors.

chris1 · Jul 15, 2006

Cool,Bro..I didn't know you were getting a two slot..

What are you putting this in ?

OK thanks for that. Either RS is using Hiroses logo font or visa versa.

it came up with 3 for that number...could you tell me which one to get?

Note that you need two to make one slot.

I think it may be a 5.6 volt zener, to provide crude overvoltage protection
