LPS Hardware Connectors

Version 1 by Stephane Carrez

This page describes the connectors of the hardware boards.

Rectifier Board

The rectifier board is connected to the power supply microcontroller board for the control and measurement of the output current. For the power distribution it has several one wire high power connectors (not described here).
