Line 77:
Synthesizers.com use a 6 way [[MTA connector|AMP MTA-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 connector|Molex KK 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 the same type of 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"/>
Modcan and Cyndustries have the same type of connector as MOTM to distribute power to modules except they only use a 3 pin version which provides +/-15v only. Power is distributed from the power supply via a distribution board. The Modcan one is completely compatible with Cyndustries modules.<ref name="mw1739"/>
