Replaceable Parts

Make sure to unplug the AC cord before opening the case and replacing parts.
All of these parts can be found on Mouser or Digi-Key.

Fuses

The fuses are small white ceramic fuses with metal ends, housed in an off-white plastic 
holder.

Most of the fuses are 375mA, although some one (LIMIT SWITCHES) is 62mA.

375mA: Littelfuse 0154.375DR (0.375A OMNI BLOK 154)
62mA: Littelfuse 0154.062DR (0.062A OMNI BLOK 154)

Trigger Connector

If you lose the green trigger connector (or somehow destroy it) you can order a new 
one.

Part: Phoenix Contact #1781043

RJ45 Step/Direction Output Drivers

If the step and direction signals on one or more channels stops working, the problem 
could be a blown differential line driver.

Part: TI AM26C31CN

Motor Drivers

If you somehow blow a driver, you can replace it.
