## Description

This backplane has seven Z50Bus compatible slots with 0.6" spacing.

Backplanes with narrow slot spacing (eg. 0.6″) are best suited to building compact systems, while wide slot spacing (eg. 0.8″) is more convenient when experimenting and developing hardware.

It is assumed the system will be powered by one of the Z50Bus cards, such as a serial card or a dedicated power supply card (eg. SC502).

SC500 series backplanes include:

- SC507 - 3-slot, narrow spacing
- SC501 - 7-slot, narrow spacing
- SC508 - 10-slot, wide spacing
- SC515 - 14-slot, narrow spacing
- SC517 - Modular, RC-2014 to Z50Bus bridge
- SC513 - Modular, 6-slot, narrow spacing, 5-volt input
- SC522 - Modular, 6-slot, narrow spacing

### The Kit

The full kit includes the printed circuit board and all the components needed to make the card, as shown in the first picture. Other cards and backplanes shown in the other pictures are not included. You will require tools, solder, and cleaning materials to assemble this kit.
