for the control board (rev A), and 1444-18 (13.5"x5"x2") for each relay
board (rev A).
[NOTE: 12 Aug 2002: Lee says a populated relay board is 1.375"
tall plus 0.25-0.5" for standoffs and a control board is 2.25" tall
with the Vicor mounted on its bottom side. If the Vicor is not used,
or if C7 on the top side of the board is laid on its side (or a shorter
version substituted), then the control board will also easily fit into
a 2" tall enclosure (the 1444-26, 16"x8"x2").]

- Basic Stamp micro-controllers, programming software, and documentation
- Vicor:
- BatMod DC/DC
