Hi Fernando,


Thanks for looking into all this.

So in this setup there would be one receptacle/HV-board? Let me see if I 
get it: one glues that -small- recepticle in the enplate. Then a cable 
which has a pin soldered to the end of it is moved through the end-plenum 
and pressed in that recepticle. The cable itself leaves the endplenum and 
is sealed with an o-ring and glue and than connected/soldered to the 
HV-board.

Best regards,
 	Yves
