RAK-2 Module Mounting System
Choose from 19" rack mount compatible open frame, standalone box or Super Stack Box.
Mounts up to 20 1.5" W modules (40 for Super Stack).
All units come with universal +/-15V @800mA power supplies and power distribution buss.

Super strong and rigid where it counts, yet weighs only three pounds (rack version)!

Anodized or powder coated parts. PEM nuts for easy, fast assembly.

MIDI to Sequencer
Interface Chip

This is a neat little programmed PIC chip that reads MIDI Start, Stop, Continue and Clock pulses and outputs a Run signal (gate), a Start pulse (sequence reset) and clock pulses at the MIDI standard of 24 pulses per quarter note. All three signals are available normal or inverted from the ICs 6 outputs.

Use it for DIN sync applications or to run analog sequencers. Only a few extra components are needed for the basic circuit.

Plug this into a protoboard and have some interfacing fun! See the Data Sheet.

PS505 Low Noise Power Supply Size: 5.25 x 5.25 x 2.75	This is a custom designed supply in an aluminum case. It features 7 built-in module connectors and a switchable 120/220/240VAC input for overseas operation. Very conservatively rated, it can supply +15V@500 mA and -15V@ 500 mA. We use an expensive low radiated field toroidal transformer for good conversion efficiency and to keep AC noise out of your modules. Audiophile Grade! The PS505 is predrilled to mount on the back of the Frac Rack or in a separate location such as the bottom of your SKB box or other rack mount container. Add the PSCONN board and connecting cable below to connect more modules. Fully compatible with MOTM systems also (does not include +5V). Assembled and tested. $129 When ordered with $500 of Modules: $99 Comes with US power cord. For foreign orders, no cord is provided. Use a standard IEC type available at your local electronic store. Typically, one PS505 will power 10 modules. However, as each module has different current requirements, it is necessary to add up the + current draw for each module in your system. This information is in the right hand column of the Store/Order page or in each product Manual. When you reach +500 mA, it is time to add another power supply.

PSCONN2 Connector Board	Connect this 5.25" x 1.2" PCB to the PS500 (or any other suitable supply) and get 9 extra outputs for powering modules. Also includes a power indicating LED. Uses Amp/Waldom .156 connectors . This is designed to mount on the side panel of a Frac Rak (hardware included) or vertically on the rear rails (extra hardware needed: 4 plastic spacers and 4-40 or 6-32 screws and nuts). Order more female connectors below if you need to hook up non Blacet Modules. (Our modules come with power cables and connectors). Assembled and tested. $29 18" cable, PS500 to PSCONN2, 4 pin to 6 pin: $6

Super Power Supply Cable Kit	Useful for adding DIY or custom modules to the Blacet power system, the Super Power Supply Cable Kit allows you to make up to 12 18" module power cables. Kit includes 4 pin female connectors, pins, heatshrink and quad 20 GA cable. Requires crimp tool (Mouser 538-11-01-0015 or equiv.) (Jameco 227491) Super Cable Kit: $26 Super Cable Kit with Crimp Tool: $49

Power output orientation; same for all Blacet Supplies. (MOTM compatible. Same pattern, different connector for Paia Power Wings.)
Need "cheap" power? While we highly advise you to use our PS505 for safety, stability and convenience, some folks have asked for a kit to power 2 or three modules. If you are experienced with handling 120V safely then try PN 20626 from Jameco (.com).
Patch Cable Kit 1/8" (3.5mm) Builds 5 color coded cables.
	Good color coded patch cables are nearly impossible to find, but you can built them easily with our high quality kit! You get 10 metal 1/8" (3.5mm) connectors, 10' of extremely flexible, lightweight black coax and 5 different colors of heatshrink tubing. The coax is very easy to work with. You need basic electronic hand tools and soldering iron for assembly. Complete instructions included. $13

	Pre Made Cables Color coded 27" long cables are a good general purpose length and allow patching between four vertical racks. The plug part of this cable is somewhat larger than our cable kits but is of good quality and may even be better for some folks with big fingers. Your choice of five colors. (Blue not shown.) $2.50 each Value Pack: $35 (15 cables; three each of all five colors.)
	Pre Made Cables Solid color 12" and 24" long cables. The plug part of this cable is somewhat larger than our cable kits but is of good quality and may even be better for some folks with big fingers. Value Pack: $19 (8 cables; one each of 12" and 24" in all four colors.)

Blacet 19" Rack Mount System (Discontinued)	19" Rack Cage holds 5, 3" W modules. Mounts in any 19" rack mount box such as SKB. Use with our PS500 Power Supply or PSCONN2 Power Distribution Board. Super strong and rigid where it counts, yet weighs under one pound! Anodized or powder coated parts. PEM nuts for easy, fast assembly. Shipped as a kit, simple screwdriver assembly. Compatible with Paia "Frac Rack". Mount multiple racks in a SKB type case. Powder Coated Ears Super strong rails with PEM nuts Holes predrilled for optional PSCONN2 board Price: Discontinued

Blank Panel	Blank Panel #1: Standard 3" size panel, black anodized with 4 mounting holes and 12 .062 pilot holes punched in our standard pattern. Enlarge these if required for your project or use the panel as a blank filler. DIYfp001: $12


28 Pin Conversion PCB	28 pin conversion PCB. Converts "shrink DIP" package (.070" pin spacing) to regular DIP (0.1" spacing). Typically used for 76477s. SDIPconvPCB: $4.50 (OEMs: Contact us for volume pricing)
