The connector area contains holes for two pin headers with 2x6 and 2x2 pins, to give access to several signals and device pins as shown in Table 1 and Table 2.
Pin headers with 2.54mm spacing or wires can be soldered in here. A connector for incircuit programming is mounted. Lastly the area contains cell balancing and a board ID system, which are described in more details in the next subsections.
