Re: Module dimensions and Pics? (Building a Custom Wiard300 cabinet)

The modules are 10.5" tall and 2.83" wide (2.83 = 17/6) The depth is 9.5" (9.4" box depth 
and 0.1" faceplate) inches. Mounting holes are 1/8" in diameter (#4 screw) and located 0.25" 
(horz. and vert.) from each corner. 

A very simple solution is to remove the plastic and metal shell from around the DIN 
connector. The actual DIN insert is heatshrink insulated on all three terminals. It is only about 
1/2" deep. With a wood panel behind the modules, they won't need the protection of the 
shell and the wood will not short out the wires.

This gives a depth of 10 inches without changing anything significant, and it can be reversed 
easily.

Otherwise cut the DIN plugs off and solder the wires directly to the PC pads.

The power wires are color coded RED = +15VDC GREEN = Ground BLACK = -15VDC

This color code is used both inside and outside the enclosure.
