Hi all,
I am hoping someone has some insight on a mechanical problem with a 6 way DB25 passive split I built.
I used a case from Modushop with a 3mm aluminium rear panel, which I had them cut using a FPD file. Majestic supplied the adaptor boards, and I used these connectors (http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/pcb-d-sub-connectors/7952318).
Now I have the problem that the connector cannot mate properly because it is stopped by the standoff. I have tried looking for shorter standoffs at all the usual suspects (mouser, rs, farnell) to no avail.
If I use machine bolts instead of standoffs I could get the connector to mate, but then it's not secured in any way.
I'm sure others on this board have encountered similar issues. Any suggestions?
