or Doepfer PSU/Bus board)

12 pin IDC socket at Concussor PSU end.
When connecting the pow er
lead to the sock et, ensure
cor rect ori en ta tion (stripe to
pin 1). When the sock et has
more holes than the header
has pins, make sure the pin
1s of the con nec tor line up.
On the Concussor mod ule,
the Doepfer power sock et
will be marked ‘DOEPFER’
and pin 1 is lo cat ed by the
word ‘STRIPE’.
Power socket as used by Doepfer.
The red stripe on the cable indicates pin 1 (-12V). You may think of pin 1 as being at the top, but Doepfer
have place it at the bottom, so Doepfer sockets appear UP SIDE DOWN!
Each power line (+12, -12, & +5) has 2 pairs of pins. The Ground (GND) line uses 2 pairs.
Note: With Doepfer systems, +5 power is an option. Some Concussor modules require +5, so check you
have this option installed! With Concussor power supplys, +5 is always supplied as standard.

The stripe on the cable MUST go
to pin 1 (-12)
The socker on the lead may have more holes than there are pins on the PCB. On allConcussor modules, there are
12 pins on the board, and either 14 or 16 holes in the socket. The same applies though - match the striped end of the
lead/socket to the work ‘STRIPE’ on the board. In this case the socket will over hang the board on the opposite end to
the stripe end.
Warning:
The pin outs of our sockets are the same as Doepfer and Integrator. So if you plug
them in correctly you will have no problems. Do not expect our sockets to necessarily look
the same, or be in the same oreintation as either Doepfer or In te gra tor. Do not assume
any thing. Always put the red stripe of the cable towards the word ‘STRIPE’ on the board.
Stripe indicates pin 1. Pin 1 on the cable must go to pin 1 of the socket. Look at what you
are doing! Many people pay little attention and just plug the power lead in without checking
it is being plugged in correctly.
