I got sent a replacement CBUS UCM recently - but one thing I\'ve noticed is the SIM module doesnt sit on the connector pins fully - it is very free to move about - and unless you are careful with the wires, it moves enough to not work.

 

Took me a few goes to get it in there -  but i am worried that the pins could bend and break at a later date.

Is this now the normal design ??

The SIM Module is small so there is room only for one mounting point. We will look at the pin connections to see if they can be more secure

Thnaks for the feedback

Odd - the first one I had was fine - the SIM module sat down perfectly.

 

This is the unit you arranged for a replacement for me - and it\'s this new one that doesnt seem to be mounted.

 

The module goes down about half way down the pins and is very very free to move. Hence my concern - might be easy for the pins to break when doing maintenance, etc.

 

Are all new modules like this or can this be resolved ??


- slychiu - 01-26-2007

Thats because of the use of plastic standoffs in the new design. The height causes the standard header to be a bit too long

Can we get the old plastic ones ? Should be pretty cheap !

 

Im more concerned over pins breakage/bending. With wiring tight in there, the wires can move the board - it\'s that loose.
