DIY Source for Samtec Connectors?

[Sundance]

Hi,

Sundance can help... - We do this for a living and will only charge for materials and handling in the interest of REAL applications for Epiphany-based solutions. The PCBs will have to on a panel and the most expensive part is the solder-paste stencils.

Contact me by email, please - if you #tnt (or others!) want to take this forward

tnt, and whomever else is working on daughtercards / breakout boards:

Before I embark on making a footprint for those Samtec BTH connectors in kicad or geda, does one of you already have one?

Thanks,

Mark

No, not for those packages.

As I mentionned the eagle files are XML so they could possibly be processed automatically by a script. Also SAMTEC itself publishes data of footprint as ascii txt files which you can re-use in scripts.

Cheers,

Sylvain

Is there any protection circuit?

I'm noob in electronics, so I'm worried about breaking my Parallella.
and I was scared after reading this article.

I've learned buffer IC will help me.
Which buffer IC is suitable for Parallella's GPIO?

I did find these
It uses a samtech connector; and has a similar purpose.

I *think* it would be compatible.
But you would need to double check the gender and pin outs.
