7c81 Ribbon cable connector holder

A connector holder designed to mount the RPi4 on a 7c81 card may be useful to someone.

That's neater than my male-female spacer with a large flat milled out on one side

Lookin good! Shame on RPI for letting this bs go on for this long.
I have also played my hand at trying to find the cleanest setup and have access to the serial ports


40pin dupont connector
-too ridged






2 right angle 40pin headers
-would be good, but pretty tall and i messed something up






custom pcb
-perfect! except it blocks the serial port worse than anything else because hdmi is flipped
-super low profile and fan mount
-would work best as a compute module board

winner





custom standoffs
-taller than the custom pbc
this one worked the best so far as is what im using on a few machines right now until my custom pcb is better
