Where are you getting your "L" brackets to mount your PCBs? |
|
|
Hello All,
I've gone around town looking for tiny "L" shaped brackets to secure my PCBs to their panels but I haven't had any luck. The problem is compounded by the fact that I'm not really sure what they're called and when I search "L shaped brackets" with Mouser and other such companies I don't get any results (or too many results).
What I want is the tiny screws and "L" bracket that you get from kits like Paia and see on many modules.I feel a tad dumb asking this question but it's something I've been searching for. Any point in the right direction would be tremendously helpful. I've been bending tiny pieces of metal and drilling a hole in it to brace my PCBs and it's a hassle.
Thanks for your time. Sorry it's such a mundane noob question..

Mouser part# 534-612 (one hole threaded) or 534-621 (both threaded, 4/40). |

If you're using CGS boards you can do a frame for them. And then just attach the frame to the back of the panel. 4 screws right thru is all it needs!

Thanks so much for the replies everyone. You've all been tremendously helpful. This is one of those subjects that I knew there had to be an easy solution to, yet I couldn't find it no matter how many forums I dug through. Thanks again, your posts will make my life easier..

I've built 4 more of those now, and have to say I really like the construction. Using hinges when attaching it to the front panel makes everything very easy to handle as well. Just flip it open and wire the backside. _________________ http://www.thehumancomparator.net/ |

Nice frames indeed!
Another standoff option is the hinged variety. I had no idea that there was any such thing until I bought an old lab circuit where the board folded out for calibration. The top two standoffs were straight, and the bottom two were hinged. I don't have part numbers but they are still made. |
