Title: New POD user has some questions
Post by: MrHorsepower on April 06, 2007, 08:18:22 AM

Hi all,  I just recieved my POD as part of the Beta Test program and have a couple of questions.  First can someone tell me what type of tool is used to attach wires to the POD, I assume it's some type of "punch down" tool, but what blade do I need-I have the tool but not the right blade. Does anyone know what the max alowable draw on the outputs is? Thanks

The connectors that come on the board require a special tool and head that cost ~$180.00  (If anyone has other information, please jump in and correct me)

Tyco Electronics makes a crimp style connector that uses a standard crimping tool. (series CST-100-II) Newark, Allied, and Arrow carry these according to Tyco's website.

The part number for the 4 position connector is: 1375820-4

About a connector.
Firstly I am connected to a prepared connector with direct Handa.
There is a method to substitute in  (I use it for computers) for single headers of 100mil.
