I still have one *big* concern and that's the center\nmounting screw for the front plate. The intrusion of the base plate into\nthe PCB area to accommodate this screw bothers me a lot. You point out\nthat it does not touch the PCB but it definitely precludes a connector\nat this location which I see as a severe limitation on the connector\narea of the front plate. I just measured a right angle flight Sub-D\nconnector and its pins protrude through the bottom of the PCB almost\n1.5mm. I also measured a right angle SMA connector and its pins protrude\nthrough the bottom of the PCB almost 2.5mm. I hope you can do something\nabout this. I fear that the connector plate area usefulness may have\nactually been degraded from the original design.\n\nCan you give us a view that shows the inside of the base plate directly\nbehind the front plate?\n\nI'm looking forward to a dimensioned drawing. I suspect I'll have more\ncomments then.\n\nRick's suggestion of a base plate that includes the sides, back, and (I\nwould add) possibly the front gives us something like the modules for\nAO-51. It probably would be stiffer, although I suspect the base you\nhave just designed is stiff enough (although you might be able to make\nthe base plate lighter if the sides/back/front were integral). I doubt\nthere is any advantage to being able to insert the PCB from the front\ndue to clearances within the satellite but you can evaluate that better\nthan I. It would give module builders the opportunity to secure heat\nproducing parts such as TO-220's directly to the walls (I did this quite\na bit for P3D modules I built). I know that these can be tricky to\nmachine due to the flexing of the walls if they get too thin. My $0.02\nworth.\n\nChuck\n\n\n\nDick Jansson-rr wrote:\n>\n> Bob:\n>\n> Owing to the “popularity” of these discussion, I have done further \n> revisions of the E05 20 Module.
