Board to Board Interconnections
The first thing that will need doing is the interconnection between the pot and main board. This is
done with a 55mm long 8-way jumper connection. Simply thread all eight wires into six holes of
the LINK pads from the underside of the pot board. The other end of the jumper can then be gently
coerced into the LINK pads of the main board. Solder each end of the jumper. You must solder the
pot board from the top of that board, and the main board from the bottom of that board.

All the remaining interconnects will be made using either the MTA system or the slower, but
cheaper, Molex system.
Make up the 4-way interconnect first. This should be made from wires 100 mm long. Make sure
you get pin 1 going to pin 1 on the other housing, pin 2 to pin 2, etc. This cable will connect to the
headers called MAIN-2 on each board.
The second lead is a 5-way interconnect. This is made up to be 145 mm long. This should connect
the POTS headers on the socket board and the pot board.
The third lead is a 6-way interconnect. This is made up to be 90mm long. This will connect the
MAIN-1 headers on the main and socket boards.
You can use some cable ties to bundle the wires in each interconnect together. This is best done
once all the interconnects are in position.
