Chuck:

Implicitly all that information existed already on the E05 60 Module drawing. I have today changed this drawing to Rev.02 to incorporate these specific dimensions. You have 28.4mm clearance to the cover flange of the E05 62 Connector Plate, which is intruded by 3.2mm for the cover screw and its PEM nut pressed into the flange. All other dimensions that you need are located on the several drawings, which is why I uploaded the complete set of drawings.

Hi Dick,

For those who have extreme connector issues it might be helpful if they had information regarding the cover attachment to the connector plate. This information might logically be added to the connector plate drawing.

How far does the nut protrude into the module area? What is it's diameter? What is the distance from the top of the PCB to the center of this nut (assuming 0.062 inch PCB)? And how far might the screw reasonably be expected to protrude into the module area?

Thanks,

Chuck
