I have a backplane (one of the rodent barn group) which has a couple of finger
contacts in the backplane missing. (Two came out while I was cleaning it - and
I wasn't being hard on them, they must have been eaten away by the same kind
of chemical action that lifted traces off the boards.)
Is there any way to replace broken/missing finger contacts?
On some of the
connectors, the pins are pressed in from the
card side. So, if you unsoldered or unwrapped the pin side,
you could, in theory, press the remains of the old contact
out and press in a new contact pin. i sold a box of 50
unused Winchester double-wide DEC connectors on eBay some
years ago. No idea where they are now.
