Analog Discovery 3 3D Model [Step File]

[jmag999]

I was wondering if a 3d model is available for this product. I see there is one for the 2nd generation.

Hi @jmag999,

The 3D model of Analog Discovery 3 is not available; the 2D mechanical drawings of the case enclosure are available on the Analog Discovery 3 Resource Center: https://digilent.com/reference/test-and-measurement/analog-discovery-3/start#additional_resources.

Thanks,
JColvin

OK. Can you tell me what the mating depth is on the 30pin header?

[JColvin]

Hi @jmag999,

The pins themselves are 6 mm in length, total depth from outside the plastic shell to the plastic housing on the 2x15 connector is 8.8 mm.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
JColvin

Good morning,

do you have the dimensions of pin number 1 on the X and Y axis, to fit the 2x15p connector? 

Thanks,

Hi @SINAPTEC COMBLEZ,

I don't have the exact dimensions of the hole in the PCB, but the pins that are used have a standard 0.025 inch (0.635 mm) square posts with a 100 mil (2.54 mm) pitch between the pins.

An example of the header used is this one, https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/würth-elektronik/61304021021/4846885, albeit with a different number of positions and potentially a different pin length as I didn't check that detail.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
JColvin

Hey @JColvin, the Analog Discovery 2 PCB dimensions have been really helpful to me in mechanically integrating it with other components, but I've been having trouble doing the same with the Analog Discovery 3 without any technical drawings or models of the PCB (and the drawings of the case that are available on the Digilent website don't help). Are there x/y positions, relative to the PCB edge, for the PCB mounting holes and the 15x2 headers that you can share that would confirm the values in the drawing that @SINAPTEC COMBLEZ posted in January?

Hi @tm_c,

I have not been able to convince the key stakeholders as of yet to post a 3D model or official dimensional drawings, but after a bit of searching I did learn that the drawing @SINAPTEC COMBLEZ used is an official one that was originally posted by the WaveForms developer about 4 months earlier in this post, https://forum.digilent.com/topic/26785-analog-discovery-3-dimensions/#comment-81182, so I can at least confirm that the listed dimensions on that drawing are accurate.

Thanks,
JColvin

Thanks @JColvin, your confirmation helps a lot! Hoping the key stakeholders can be convinced at some point 😁🤞
