===MU PCB Mounting===
Synthesizers.com and some 3rd party manufacturers mount the PCB parallel to the panel with standoffs. Other 3rd party manufacturers mount PCBs perpendicular MOTM-style. #4-40 mounting hardware is ideal, and works with CGS boards too.

PCBs can be mounted parallel using 1" (Mouser: 534-8405) and 1.25" (Mouser: 534-8407) threaded standoff posts.

Black oxide screws, like the ones used by Synthesizers.com, are used to affix the standoffs to the front panel. Specifically, #4-40 x 3/8" Black oxide phillips pan head screws. <ref>http://guitarfool.com/modules/hardware.html</ref>

Screws available here:
http://www.aaronsmachinescrews.com/cfusion/DisplayProduct.cfm?ITEM=1701SN1368

For perpendicular mounting, brackets as mentioned in the MOTM section can be used, or threaded right-angle brackets (Mouser: 534-621) can be mounted to the panel, using the same screws mentioned above. <ref>http://guitarfool.com/modules/hardware.html</ref>

Dotcom uses MTA-100 connectors.

MTA-100 connectors use 24 awg wire.

MTA-100 "T"-handle tool: AMP #59803-1 (DigiKey: A9982-ND)

====MU Module Power====
Dotcom modules and power supplies are connected using 6-pin keyed MTA-100 connectors. <ref>http://www.synthesizers.com/technical.html#internaldc</ref>

Pinout:
* 1 = +15v (White)
* 2 = KEY - pin missing and plugged
* 3 = +5v (Red)
* 4 = gnd (Black)
* 5 = -15v (Green)

Male PCB mount: AMP #6404566 (Mouser: 571-6404566)

====MU Panel Connectors====
2-pin MTA-100 connectors are used for jacks, push-buttons, and LEDs.

Jack Pinout:
* 1 = Signal (tip)
* 2 = Ground (ring)

Female cable mount: AMP #6404412 (Mouser: 571-3-640441-2)

Male PCB mount: AMP #6404562 (Mouser: 571-6404562)

3-pin MTA-100 connectors are used for switches and pots.<ref>http://www.synthesizers.com/technical.html#internalpot</ref>

Potentiometer Pinout:
* 1 = CCW Side
* 2 = Wiper

Revision as of 21:49, 26 August 2014

This is intended to be a resource for doing DIY, repaneling, and/or repairs on 5U systems. At present, some of this information is very difficult to find or otherwise available. With the growth of interest in DIY for both MU and MOTM formats, it seems like an appropriate time to start this, and compile as much information as possible in a single place.

If you have any corrections or additions to this list, feel free to make them here, or send a PM to diophantine on the MuffWiggler forum. I plan to eventually add some HOWTOs, FAQs, pictures, tutorials, and schematics. When I do that, I will likely split this out into multiple pages. For the present, while it is very much a work-in-progress, let's keep this as one page for ease of use & editing.

Panels/Faceplates

MOTM Panels

MOTM Panel Specs

...

MOTM Blank Panels

Blank panels can be purchased from:

Notes

  • I'm not wanting to do a list of every possible panel part or knob (everyone has preferences), but to list the common/major/most-wanted parts in these formats, and/or what sort of things will work. I'd love to eventually list the sizes and have templates/sizes for panel design too.
