It appears I need to replace a Geckodrive G203V Digital Stepper Motor Driver
(Geckodrive G203V Digital Stepper Motor Driver - RobotShop). The one I have has pins on the bottom that just plug into a socket on my circuit board. The one sold here has a green terminal block attached to the unit. Does the green terminal block unscrew or unplug etc. so that the pins will be exposed and I can just plug it into my circuit board like my existing one?

Hello Larry,
Thank you for contacting RobotShop.
According to the datasheet (https://cdn.robotshop.com/media/g/gec/rb-gec-02/pdf/g203v-digital-stepper-motor-driver-datasheet.pdf) it says following:
The G203V uses a 2-piece modular main connector. The connector is split in two pieces; terminals 1 through 6 (power supply and motor leads) and terminals 7 through 12 (control interface). Each can be removed separately by pulling the connector body upwards and off of the mating header pins on the G203V. The connectors must initially be removed to mount the G203V to a heatsink or chassis.
According to this, it seems that connectors can be removed.
But, for more detailed information, it would be better to contact Geckodrive support.
We hope this helps.
