[Gumstix-users] Connector orientation

[Daniel S. <de...@pm...>]

Hi,

I am new to Gumstix, and I just purchased a connex 400m, a 
console-hw, and a netCF, and I am trying to figure out the 
orientation of the 60-pin Hirose and 92 pin bus connectors. I can't 
seem to find anything that clearly spells it out on the web site. I 
even looked at the Eagle board layouts, and it isn't always clear. Is 
there an unambiguous source of info for such things somewhere? Or can 
someone share an easy way to tell? What happens if they are connected 
the wrong way, will anything be damaged?

It baffles me when connectors are not keyed or indexed to go in only one way.

Tx,

Dan
