Combining 5U MOTM and Synthesizers.com modules in the same cabinet: Difference between revisions

Synthesizers.com use a 6 way [[MTA|MTA-]] 0.100" connector]] to get power from the power supply to modules. Power is distributed from the power supply via a power harness which contains a number of these connectors. They sell 2 models: the small power harness has 20, the large has 40.<ref name="mw1739"/>

MOTM Synthesis Technology use a 4 way [[Molex KK|Molex KKMTA 0.156" connector]] – those that only need +/- 15v. These are the same power connectors that Frac and Wiard 300 series module use. Some of the newer modules, that also require 5v, use thea same6 type ofpin connector but with 6 pins (not the same one as Synthesizers.com use). Power is distributed from the power supply via power distribution boards. There are two main versions – one with only 4 pin connections (i.e. +/- 15v only) and one with a mix of 4 and 6 pin connectors (providing +/-15v and 5v).<ref name="mw1739"/>
