Would you be tempted to part with a couple? I've ordered one Eltek for now but can see myself getting another if this works out.

Would be even more interested if you have the connectors that fit on as well. We can move to PM if you like, let me know how much it'll set me back :)

Somebody, just ask them, who is your european buisness partner, for tis product, As I.would need to perform a bench test assessment prior to any subsequent multiple unit purchasing.

Looks easy to repair though, screamed off and pull out module, no desoldering etc

Looks ok for the price point

Just curious, have you got some sort of cover on to keep the terminals safe?

I've not manufactured anything.

A 3D printed housing would be ideal.
