Has anyone found an edge connector that works with the 5251 pcb? There are 3.96 mm pitch connectors out there but it's really hard to find one that works with the ~1.0 mm pcb thickness. I found this on ebay (https://www.ebay.ca/itm/5pc-Card-Edge-C ... 0887820549), wondering if anyone has tried these.

Thanks!

According to viewtopic.php?p=379215#p379215, that is what Orihalcon uses for his converters. Guess I'll order these :)

The one I used didn't fit snug. But then I just folded a piece of paper and stuck it in there. Problem solved.
