A replacement for the HP-41 zebra connector

[Dave Frederickson]

Hi Mark,

I don't have a very good means of measuring the spacing between the pads. From the below pic it looks like about 25 mils. Contact width also looks like 25 mils.



There are a lot more 41's out there than 71's and of that this flex would be only for the later version. Of that, how many folks are doing repairs caused by leaking batteries? Not very many.

What's the minimum? Is there any savings in eliminating the coverlay, the polyimide protective layer, or because of the minimum charge is that a moot point?
