#178461 - Why does it have to be PCB laminate? Responding to: ???'s previous message  | 
I do the sort of thing you describe quite frequently, since I use eval kits quite a bit, but I generally put standoffs and a sheet, either of aluminum or of pretty much any sort of plastic to prevent "things" from contacting the board's solder-side.  Sometimes I have to do that in order to protect soldered-in-place attachments for oscilloscope or logic analyzer probes.  A rigid sheet stood-off from the solder-side makes a decent place to attach and strain-relieve couplings of many sorts.
 There's no real advantage to using PCB laminate is there? RE  |
