If you look at the 1x1 and 0p5x1 you can see the ground through holes are generally close to both a mezzanine ground pin and a ground pad, providing a bunch of really good connections.\nThe 1x0p5 is a lot worse though - I'll definitely be improving that one.\n\nThe flip side of course is that putting holes in this region is also not ideal but probably fine - so I'll leave it to you and the others on this thread!",

(As an aside, if the Hirose part has more mating cycles then for the other boards you might save money using that!)\n\nOn the other hand, it would introduce complexity and possible confusion, e.g. we’d need different example breakouts and people would need to pick the right one. I could see the quarter slot being different ending up as annoying and it also being slightly unreliable due to the cheap part.\n\nOverall if I were you I would probably not want to do it, just to keep things simple, but it depends how much trying to reduce the cost is a factor.",

As one of the 3 people that has already spent 1.5k USD for getting the run 3 quarter slot assembled** I care about YIELD ! **\n\nThe quarter slot assembly cost is the same as all the 1x1 even though there are 18 less wires, making it already the less expensive one to assemble. If this is a question of costs there are other cost factors that do not have any impact on yield that I think should be questioned first: like the decision to go to 4 layers rather than staying on the current 2.\n\n2. As the person making the change, I originally signed up to make some last minute changes and fell blind sighted by this request so late in the development cycle, and so, unlike with my previous change I will not be sending this board for fabrication at my expense to validate it with JLC. Also if I do make the change I will not be maintaining 2 quarter slot versions with the different connector as that is more work that I originally signed up for. I believe other people may also share this felling but might be politer than me and not put it as bluntly.",

And as she actually paid for quarter slot CoBs on run 3, helping out in this case might actually reduce the quality of the product she bought!\n\n(My position is a bit more complex as you've provided me with a bunch of free silicon - I started helping out so I could get some of those chips back, and I'm happy to continue to do so on the basis that will get me some run 2 CoBs back to play with, and who knows it might also bump me up the queue for a free slot on run 3 if you end up with any unbought space...  I'd also just like the open source silicon project generally to succeed - which I'm fairly sure is also a motivation for Essen - it's not all purely transactional!)",

I think it's unlikely that will  change much. (Other than 4 layers/serial#s and small details)",
