Building the 1U Filter Core module using the Sock8 board
This is the simplest way of connecting all the sockets to the main board. The Sock8 board
should be populated in the way described in our construction guide found on the project
webpage. There are only two headers, UPR (for upper) which is six way, and LWR (for
lower) which is eight way. Both headers are fitted to the bottom side of the board.
If you have an issue 2 Sock8 board. Don't forget to fit a wire link in position L1.
You need to make up two interconnects. The six way one should be made so that it is 80mm
long. The eight way should be made to be 130mm.
The prototype unit showing the detail of the board to board interconnects. Here I have used the Molex KK
0.1” system to connect the Sock8 to the main PCB.
