Famicom cartridge PCB outline

HVC-TxROM

This outline is based on measurements from a HVC-TGROM-01 cartridge, so it should be compatible with any cartridge shell that supports any similar HVC-TxROM/SxROM PCB or bigger. These measurements should approximate closely, as it assumes a 1/128 inch grid. File:HVC-TGROM-01 dimensions.png

Famicom Cartridge pin dimensions

The pin pitch is 2.54mm, with 2 rows of 30 pads. Each pad may be uniform in dimensions, or slightly thicker and longer for power/ground. This outline is based on measurements from a HVC-TGROM-01 cartridge, assuming a 1/128 inch grid. File:Famicom cartridge pins dimensions.png
