stabs overlap cutout?
« on: Sun, 20 December 2015, 07:58:26 »
Hi! How much does Cherry plate mount stabs overlap their cutouts? I need to know mainly on the critical yellow spot ... 120881-0

I'm not 100% sure but the stabs on my Ducky (not new funky ones) aren't the same as the PCB mount ones I have in a bag, so I think the answer is they don't at least on top of the plate.



If these look right I can take the board apart and try and look at the back, but not sure how accurate I'll be with a PCB attached...

You can see the front of the hole level with the bottom of the stab in the pic, so no.  I guess there is some overlap underneath or it couldn't clip in but wasn't sure if you were worried about top, bottom or both so didn't take it apart.  Say the word and I will :)

I only meant confirmation that you wanted the back, wasn't treating you like my two year old niece :))

Unfortunately the plate bends round and damn near touches the PCB so I can't see or measure anything:(

Hi orange. I'm asking, because on top of the metal plate I plan another thin layer for fairing, to avoid the
"floating keys" look. And if the stabs overlap, then I need enlarged cutouts on that fairing layer. Thanks so far!
