RE: [N8VEM-S100:5779] NKK Switches for Mini FP

Don,

On second thought, if you are planning to make something more permanent, and over sized on the ends for attachment to another chassis.... then count me in please.

Don: I'd be interested in a bracket for permanent mounting ... not just alignment. You might consider over-sizing it in one or both dimensions and then letting builders trim it down to fit their particular application. The critical dimensions are the interior and mounting holes themselves; the outer perimeter (dimensions, shape) much less so.

How thick a plate are you intending to use?

Folks are starting to get the switches for the FP mini board and asking about
a switch bracket.

The switch bracket has two important purposes. One is for the positioning of the
switches when you solder them in. I've tried doing this without a bracket and it's
very difficult to get them lined up perfect without some sort of jig.

I already have a quote from sheet metal fabricator here in town to produce one.
In small quantities it was $15 USD.

I'm thinking that I can do these on my mill, probably five or six at a time for just the
cost of materials. I already have drill bits and tap for the tiny screws. I'm going to give it
a try this week.

If your interested in a bracket please let me know so I can gage the interest level.

We may be to produce a few and pass them onto other builders on a 'loaner'
basis. However my original plan was to use the bracket for installation and as a
strain relief in the chassis.

Please feel free to send along your ideas and suggestions.

Thank you.

Did someone develop a switch frame (or std. Process) for maintainibg alignment, as I solder these switches?
