I cannot speak for how much noise people make when assembling them.

Out of the hundreds of these out there, there's been maybe a couple instances of any mechanical noise (I'd have to go look, as I vaguely remember one instance, but can't say it wasn't related to a broken CMC, off hand). AC environments are a bit unpredictable, and even with the best efforts some things will still cause a disruption of sorts.

I'm planning on having 4 Fo-Felix boards in a box with 4 reciprocals. how should the receptacles be wired? in there a schematic?

to be clear I am asking for the correct way to wire these recepticles. there are 3 in the picture but there will be 4 receptacles and 4 fe felix boards. 3 of them for high current and one for source components. all with comoco.

I am also using an iec inlet for ac which is fused. It is not clear to me which gusset shield i use in it. Shield I use a 10a or 5a? Alternatively i corks use an iec inlet that is switched both not fused. Which would be preferable?

fixing the typos: I am also using an IEC inlet for ac input which is fused. It is not clear to me what amperage rating fuse I should use in it. Should I use a 10a or 5a? Alternatively i could use an IEC inlet that is switched but not fused. Which would be preferable? maybe since each Fe Felix board has a fuse i should just use an UEC inlet with on/off switch and no fuse? i cant have both as the cutout does not allow IEC inlets that are both fused and switched.

I would use a 15A slow blow since that's likely what you'll be plugging into (standard socket).

As far as wiring I'd wire just four of the sockets to the CMC's if you have 4 Fo-Felix's. I wouldn't do 1 Fo-Felix per duplex.

Each socket has tabs on it between the screws on each side. I'd break them off on two of the duplexes to turn them into separated sockets. Here's an example. So in your example you daisy change from the IEC to the first socket, to the second, then it goes to the Fo-Felix's from the sockets. All the Fo-Felix's are in parallel.

I can verify everything you're doing before you turn it on. E-mail is fastest.

thank you for that. I added two kits and sent payment. with the one that i have from before i will have 6 in total.

i was also thinking about adding this to the box. what are your thoughts on this:

this is the schematic:
