Disco-Kraken Board THD Components ------------------------------------- Good for Production ----------------------- Rev. 19-Mar-2025 The purpose of this note is to describe all of the Through Hole Device (THD) components that the assembly vendor needs to mount onto the Disco-Kraken circuit board. The Disco-Kraken uses 9 types of THD components. The following tables lists all of the THD components, how many of each type are used, and their reference designators. All THD components used on the DK board mount on the TOP side of the board. MSU Disco-Kraken THD Component: Description, Part Number Vendor Part No & Reference Desig.

These 2 capacitors will be the tallest components on the board. They need to be glued down to the board so that vibration during use does not cause them to rise up above the circuit board surface. - 2 types of the DCDC Converters, PTH04T230WAD and PTH04T260WAD look almost exactly alike and can plug into each others hole patterns in the circuit board. It would be very easy to get them mixed up during hand installation. - Some of the THD connectors listed above include mounting screws in addition to their soldered electrical terminals. In the parts kit we have provided mounting screws, washers, and nuts so that if Hughes wants to you may mechanically attach these connectors to the PCB before soldering them. - There are 5 places where traces on the top surface of the pcb run out from underneath the TRACO_TEN20_7211WIR DCDC Power Converter. At the point where these 5 traces emerge from underneath the converter they need to be covered with Kapton tape to provide insulation between the trace and the edge of the converter. These 5 points are marked in the top side silkscreen on the pcb.
