Oh interesting design. I think as a few others have said, it will be hard to justify a 6 week lead time as people either need PSUs now or they don't need PSUs. Will also have to find a reliable and bountiful source of the PSUs themselves.

Ps, can you create a tiny plastic cover for the interface pins that are visible on the front side? Then that front side has no touchable live surfaces.

Unfortunately, many FCI connectors aren't stocked anywhere and seems to be manufactured on request.
That's why I need some time to get them.

Your request on the pins cover is legit, I'll have a look at something easy to do.
Worst case will be to cover them with some non conductive rubber.

What I was really saying is this might be something you'll have to put down for in advance, and sell as they're in stock or a few weeks out. If you can cover those pins then its a significant USP over the DPS2000-BB which has exposed stuff everywhere without a case, and has downward facing pins which get very close to whatever shelving you use. Those that use metallic shelving or even treated wood have to be careful and usually sit it on something.

Only the first batch will need the 6 weeks delay since the connectors will then be ordered in advance. The other ones will be either in stock or short delay
I have a first batch of connector already ordered, but once I'll reach 75 reserved boards from this first batch, I'll order a second batch of 140 connectors.
And you are right, the DPS 2000 does have a few bad points, that's why I looked at something else with some nice power.
