Fitting PCBs to keyboards
Posted: Wed Apr 07, 2021 5:12 am
I have just bought two new sets of Fatar type PCBs from Gino Midi to attach to a pair of old Fatar keyboards. The problem is the holes on the PCBs don't match the position of those on the keyboards so I will probably have to drill new holes. My questions are these:
1. What distance should I aim to have the PCB from the base of the keyboard?
2. What are the little plastic connectors called as I don't seem to be able to find them anywhere?
3. The PCBs are of the two contact type. Should my keys only make contact with one of these points or does it matter if it's both? (I'm planning to use one of the scan matrix connectors from MIDI Boutique that specifies it works on either upper or lower contacts)
