1980's trip computer?
(OP)
Hello everyone,I was advised to ask here aswell,from a fellow forum user in the Electrical section.
The trip computer has a connector on the back,which I have now been informed as an edge connector (thankyou Gunnar). As the OE connector are rare,would there be possibility to advance on the connector. I'm thinking maybe drill a 0.5mm hole in each track and solder in,another type of connector?
thanks in advance

And how thick the board is, if it is two sided.
Then maybe you can figure out what connector it was, and if someone sells them now.
Do you have specs on the device, or are you going to reverse engineer it, or what?
And why?
For a nav computer to be useful, it needs current maps. And maps are configured according to the software that will use them.

I hope this gives you an understanding

Lots of old PCs and other electronics used card edge connectors. Lots to choose from.
Do these carry a significant current?
