+ User Manual
Mating Connectors
The connectors used on the + are the same types as on the BeBoPr and
boards. On the + connector J22 was added. This connector was split into two sections
J22A (the I2C part) and J22B (the ESTOP part). This way a single 6 pin connector, or separate
4-pin and 2-pin connectors can be used for the wires. When shipped, the + has a red
jumper mounted on J22B to prevent the ESTOP circuit from getting activated.
I/O connectors:
The pin-header connectors on the board will accept many different female counter parts,
either polarized or not. The official mating parts are from MOLEX, type KK series 6471.
The I/O connectors required for a complete board are specified in the table below:

Officially, these connectors require special and very expensive tooling to attach the contacts
to wires. If you don't have to manufacture hundreds of wires daily and according to industrial
norms, it is also possible to solder the wires to the contacts. Illustration 16 shows a relatively
cheap crimp tool that's being sold online. Search on YouTube for instructions on how to attach
the contacts without special tooling.
