Looking for a connector to go between the module and the gate driver to raise it an additional inch above the module.

Hi Rodney,
I'm not aware of an off the shelf connector that will allow you to raise the module an inch. It is not uncommon for customers to utilize a twisted wire pair from the gate driver to the module or to fabricate a small interposer PCB with overlapping planes that minimize the addition of gate inductance. This interposer board would be vertical and allow you to have standard connectors on both ends that interface with the driver and module.
Best Regards,
Austin C.

Hi Austin, a portion of this question came from looing at the MX3 module where the gate drivers were raised using some sort of connector that appeared to be connected to the gate driver. I am looking at making a similar topology to the XM3 except with CAS300M17BM2 modules and CGD1700HB2P-BM2 gate drivers. Unfortunately, there is not a lot of detail about the connections and suggested connectors. The one connector that is called out is the keystone Electronics 3557 which is a fuse blade connector as used on automotive fuses. If you can suggest a couple of brands of flying lead connectors that mate to the modules, I would appreciate it.
