Step 25Optional Assembly: Output Header
This Option is for those who did NOT choose the "NeoGeo Converter Option'. Instead of soldering the output DB-15 connector directly to the board, we will be using a 16 pin IDC connector to attach the output DB-15 connector with a ribbon cable. This will allow you to mount the connector on your stick securely and be able to disconnect it when needed.
Please note that there is a mistake in the silk screen printing for this part. The box surrounding the part has a space that is open to should where the opening in the header should be. This is backwords. Make sure to check the pictures below and match the orientation before soldering.
The 16 pin IDC header should be oriented with the little key notch facing the middle of the board.
Insert the connector as far down into the board as possible in the spot marked 'Output to DB-15'. Solder one corner pin to the board, and check that it is laying flat. If the connector needs adjustment, melt the solder and adjust. Solder the opposite corner, and check again. Once the connector is properly set, go ahead and solder the other 14 pins.
