Awesome! Just  ordered 2!

Was having problems at first placing the order just incase others have the same problem here's what happend and what I did.

When I went to checkout It asked me if I was a new customer and wanted to sign up or if I was an existing customer. At first I clicked existing and signed in again(I was already signed in) and when it went through to go thru paypal , paypal said it couldnt complete the request and sent me back to small bear which took me back in the loop. same thing happend a second time.

But the third time instead of resigning in I clicked the little pay with paypal icon under the new or existing customer area. Which let me sign into paypal and completed my purchase !

Excited!

Excellent!  Do you have a datasheet, that shows the dimensions and hole locations and interior standoffs?

The 5 pot board and 15 pin connectors really are a great addition too. Thanks for making these available.  :icon_cool:

Thanks for reminding me that I needed to make this available. The detailed product description:

http://www.smallbearelec.com/servlet/Detail?no=1286 (http://www.smallbearelec.com/servlet/Detail?no=1286)

now has links to the pdfs.

Regarding connectors, please also note: I had the 15-pin made-to-order, and I know it will be fine for more complex builds. For where you need two- three-pin terminations for input, output, power, etc., I now have a section for Molex stuff that I have just begun to populate. The power supply connector shows the idea. In time, there will be lots of pre-terminated plugs that can be added to jacks and switches to create building blocks.

@Steve: Any chance the pot PCB's and Molex connectors will be available in single pot format (3 wire) in the future?

Yes! I did all of the terminations in this pic by hand, but the first lot of pre-terminated Molex plugs should be available in about a week. Two- and three-pin 22-series headers are already posted. Suggestions: If you are only using one pot, use a 16mm control and no PCB. For two x RD901-40 pots, the 5-pot PCB is fine...just bore out to 1/8" the hole at the vertex of the triangle and use a 3/8" standoff to give support.
