Most companies use an M3 sized screw with a typical length of 6 mm that will extend to 10 mm. Analogue Systems use M2.5 for their cases. Doepfer specifications call for M3x6mm size screws. Elby racks call for M3x8mm size screws. Monorocket cabinets use sliding nuts in their rails, threaded to accept 4-40 screws.

[[Doepfer Musikelektronik GmbH|Doepfer]] uses either 10 or 16 pin male (IEC 60603-13) [[pin headers]], with the red wire indicating -12v. [[Cwejman]] uses the same connectors as Doepfer, however +5V is unused and the coloured wire indicates Gate on 16 pin and +12V on 10 pin. [[Analogue Systems]] uses 16 pin [[DIL socket]]s (aka IC sockets) ie. two rows of 8 pins. These all connect to ribbon cable. The Doepfer and AS methods are not compatible without some sort of converter.<ref>Analogue Heaven email list:[https://web.archive.org/web/20190614005350/http://analogue-heaven.1065350.n5.nabble.com/some-help-building-a-rack-for-doepfer-tp25377p25380td25377.html Re: some help building a rack for doepfer] by [[Tony Allgood]], 29 June 2006</ref><ref>[http://cwejman.net/ribbon_cable.pdf Cwejman ribbon cables]</ref><!-- Tiptop Zeus?-->
=== Usage ===
Do not mix dissimilar metal terminals and headers. The contact resistance will go up with dissimilar metals, causing all sorts of problems.<ref>[http://www.pinrepair.com/connect/ Molex Connectors Explained, as used in Pinball.]</ref>
