Hi all,
I've been thinking for a while about how I've been mounting pcbs inside my enclosures, and it's not been pretty. I started to wonder if anyone makes screws with a perfectly flat, thin and wide head - perhaps a half-mm thick.
I've been googling it, and I can see these are the usual suspects:
It seems strange that there's not some kind of screw where at that line they've drawn, there's just a kind of flat disc. Hopefully that makes sense.
If I could get one of these mythical screws, then that would be on one side of the bottom of the enclosure, and on the other side would be a spacer, the pcb, and a keps nut. No more worrying about the head of a hex nut scratching the piece of gear below.
Are these actually available anywhere? If so, enlighten me!
If not, anybody want to go into the screw (I know, I know...) business?
thanks!
Matthew
