Mounting Methods
SINGLETACT MOUNTING METHODS
Screw Mounting
Both the standard electronics and the USB electronics boards feature screw hole cutouts, which
can be used for mounting the boards to devices that accept screws (wood, plastic, sheet metal,
etc). As with the double-sided tape solution, keep in mind the clearance of the through-hole pins
on the standard electronics board. In the image below, a #2 thread-forming plastic screw is used
to mount a standard electronics board to a 3D-printed device. Note that the board overhangs to
allow the through-hole pins to clear the surface and allow for a flat mount.
Tip: If your application has moving parts, such as the scissor example in the images above, try
to mount the electronics on the same moving piece as the sensor to minimize movement along
the length of the sensor.
