EDAC connector

Hi Gerard,

I am trying to find/buy the connector you proposed to slide the HVB in. 
You proposed an EDAC 26 pin card edge connector single or double contact 
row. We prefered the single contact row connector in order to have a 
stronger connection with the HVB.

I called EDAC (Canada) to ask for this single row connector. They told me 
i have to find a distributor that has them (i believe 200 connectors was a 
too low amount for them to produce it). I already had a look at the 
distributors that they recommend and they do not sell those single row 
connectors either. I guess we have to go with the double contact row 
connector. The double row version is available at Newark Electronics, you 
have to buy at least 25 of them at 4.90/piece with a lead time of 53 days. 
Now it is no problem for us to buy 25 of them but the lead time of 53 days 
is a bit crazy. Do you have such connectors somewhere? We only need 
one/two of them to test in order to know if we can glue them in the end 
plenum without causing leaks.

The EDAC number is 341-026-500-102 (single row) / 341-026-500-202 (double 
row).


Cheers & thanks,
 	Yves
