Anybody have an expressPCB layout for a Norcomp 999-H15-PS2L571 VGA connector?

Hi,

In the Propeller Proto Board Accessory Kit is a blue colored plug that connects a mouse, keyboard, and VGA. It's known as a Norcomp 999-H15-PS2L571 integrated SVGA and PS/2. I'm considering using that Norcomp 999-H15-PS2L571 on a printed circuit board that I'm designing with expressPCB and I was wondering if anyone here had already made a component layout for it. I know I can make a layout myself, but it looks complex enough to make mistakes, so I was wondering if anyone had a footprint that was already tried and true.

many thanks,
Mark

He're mine...· But, it's not been actually tested...·

I don't use expressPCB but I have done a footprint for a different layout package and here's a tip. Check the hole sizes are right and them check them again. Fitting the connector is very difficult if the pins don't go into the holes easily. The pins on the PS2 connectors will push up into the connector body. It is possible to remove the PS2 connectors and fit them individually and then fit the VGA connector over the top.

I just found this drawing -- it may help (I'm going to scratch build a component for ExpressPCB as well): www.norcomp.net/rohspdfs/Connectors/Other/999-H15-PS2R571.pdf

Thanks, guys,

I was starting to get nervous because I couldn't find even the drawing for the pin layout.

Rayman, it will probably be awhile but I'll be sure to give you some feedback on how your layout works.


cheers,
Mark
