I ordered some Kesler 44 63/37 .020 cause it works at a lower temp., less chance of toasting components on the board :)
I use Kester 44 for most of my electronic work (Hi-Fi kit building and repair). It is pretty much a standard, high quality solder.

Perfect for this.

Single strand 20 gauge copper wire is good you can get it at Radio Shack. The switches don't really matter you can use any switch you want.
2x 3A fuses for DNA30 (MINISMDC260F/16-2) Digi key part #. They go on the positive battery lead between the battery and the board

More questions... With a DNA board can I use any type of switch I want or is there some guidelines I need to be aware of? What about fuses? What type do I use and where are they soldered in? Thanks.

Well I got my green one in . I have my dna 30 wired and tested. Now the only thing is figuring out how to install the 510. I tried to press it on and it is simply too big for the hole. I hope maybe Retird can chime in and give some advise. Or anyone with experience on this type of press fit connector.

Are You using the supplied 510 or something else?

Should be 2 x 6 amp fuses in parallel

If the hole is too small for the 510 you will need to enlarge it just enough to still be able to press fit the connector.

Thanks! I figured. I ruined my connector trying to press it in. so ordered a fat daddy one. Not happy right now. Have you gotten your boxes from them. what are you usung for the 510?
