My apologies to Tibbo (maybe)

The EM500 can be ordered standalone or in combination with an industry-standard RJ45 jack and/or all discrete components required to complete the circuit.

You can do your EM500 customers a favor by also stocking the low-profile SMT 2x11x1.27mm socket Tibbo uses on the bottom of the EM500EV. Jennifer agreed to stock it but I suggested it made more sense for dealers to stock it. I've the PN and DWG if you need them.

This method of mounting makes the unit a plug-in and eliminates the need to solder the 1.27mm spaced pins. Or desoldering if there is a problem. Users will need a board maker who can handle the non-plated holes on such close spacing. CircuitMart (they've recently posted to Adverts) had no problem with them.

The socket needs to be low profile to make sure the pins are securely gripped - too tall and they don't make contact.
