Looking for the Plastic guard that goes around the pins for a PDS card
Posted by: Realitystorm on 2024-03-20 18:39:34
I have an accelerator card for the SE that is missing the plastic guard that typically goes around the pins for the PDS connector.
Is there anywhere I can purchase these, or will I need to take it off something else? Picture is an example of what I'm looking for.

That shroud is part of the connector, not intended to be removed. You probably would need to entirely desolder the connector and solder a new one in if you wanted to replace it.

Verify the pincount, but this should be the replacement. https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/650908-5/289613
