V02 Mounting Bracket for the Vecoven PWM Mod

Published on

The V02 mounting bracket for the Vecoven PWM mod, allows the two boards of the mod to be mounted off the voice-boards in a MKS-70.

Occupying the space previously taken up by the transformer, the V02 can ONLY be fitted if Guy Wilkinson's P0004 power supply is installed.

There are two main advantages to using the V02 mounting bracket for the Vecoven PWM mod:

  • You don't have to drill any holes into your MKS-70 voice-boards.
  • The PWM mod can very easily and quickly be disconnected from the voice-boards.

IMPORTANT: The V02 mounting bracket is a great solution and keeps things tidy but... due to the fact that the V02 mounts the Vecoven PWM boards in very close  proximity to the voice-boards, it's strongly recommended that vertical IDC headers are fitted to the PWM boards and that the Molex headers used on the ribbon cables are NOT foldback types.
