How Do You Mount A Circuit Board In An Electronic Project Box?
Printed circuit boards are sheets of fiberglass or other material embedded with electrical conductors. Conductive pads allow electrical components to be soldered in place. Circuit boards are found in nearly every electronic device, and are the predominant technology by which electrical circuits are assembled. While printed circuit boards are flexible, they can be damaged by mechanical shock or flexing. As a result, they require sturdy mounting to protect them from damage. The boards also contain uninsulated components on both sides, which means contact with a metal enclosure can cause electrical shorts and malfunctions. Locate the holes on your circuit board. Mass-produced circuit boards usually have 1/4-inch holes in each of the corners which can be used for mounting. Hold the circuit board directly over the location you wish to mount it, and mark the location of the screw holes on the enclosure. Mount the printed circuit board to the stand-off spacers. Place a 3/8-inch nylon washer o
