 The Front Panel for the ICE-QT1 has two 8-pin Hirose connector (HR25-7TR-8SA) that each carry the signals for two channels of temperature control.  The pin diagram below is for the top Hirose connector; the bottom connect has the same wiring but for channels 3 & 4 instead of 1 & 2. Rth and Rth_Rtn are the two ends of a 10k thermistor. The Front Panel for the ICE-QT1 has two 8-pin Hirose connector (HR25-7TR-8SA) that each carry the signals for two channels of temperature control.  The pin diagram below is for the top Hirose connector; the bottom connect has the same wiring but for channels 3 & 4 instead of 1 & 2.

 +The ICE-QT1 has two 12-pin 1.00mm pitch flat flex connectors ([[http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/SFW12R-1STE1LF/609-1900-1-ND/1003179|FCI SFW12R-1STE1LF]]) shown on the right side of <imgref PCBDimensions> that each carry the signals for two channels of temperature control.  The left-most connector carries signals for channels 1 & 2 while the right-most connector carries signals for channels 3 & 4. The pin diagram for the top flat flex connector (J2) is shown below and the bottom connector (J5) has the same pin definition for channels 3 & 4. Pin 1 is defined the same as noted in the datasheet for the [[http://portal.fciconnect.com/Comergent//fci/drawing/sfw12lf.pdf|SFW12R FFC connector]] and shown below in <imgref FFCpindef>. Rth and Rth_Rtn are the two ends of a 10k thermistor. The polarity for the TEC connections uses the assumption that current is flowing from the positive terminal to the negative, the TEC is heating.

 +The flat flex jumper cables used to connect to the FFC connectors should be 1.00mm pitch with 12 conductors. Another FFC connector must be used on the other side to break out the connections for OEM use. It should be noted that when connecting to the other side of the FFC, all the pin definitions will be reversed (i.e. pin 1 on one side will be pin 12 on the other).

 +<WRAP center round info 60%>
 +Generally with flat flex jumper cables, the cables can be folded but the bend radius should not be less that 2mm. The clearance in front of the pcb FFC connectors must be at least 0.25 inches to allow the flat flex cable to exit and bend. The distance between the FFC connector and the first bend of the flat flex cable is determined by the length of the stiffener (or backing) on the flat flex cable.
