Further to Post #940 [image] Share tips you have come across General Electronics Blind Standoffs, Mounting Feet for PCBs See also, post #1110 We have covered chassis PCB mounting without the need of drilling through the chassis itself. This method used a M2 brass insert in an Acrylic foot; the height of the finished foot is about 3.5 mm. The assembly is glue welded with DCM (Methylene Chloride) to the chassis inside surface. There are, however, times when the 3.5 mm brass insert foot is too high.

Here is a pretty neat one. [20221121_162152] I like these tiny 2.54mm screw terminal blocks, as you can have them replace standard 2.54mm header pins on many components, in order to create some very strong and reliable connections for single core jumper wire, and/or male dupont connectors. You can also cut some double-sided header pins, screw one end of the headers into the terminal blocks and make your components breadboardable again :grin:

Save Time, Mark Breadboard Component Leads I cannot remember how many times I’ve looked up component footprint leads. Save the stripping form silicone insulated wire to identify the power and signal leads of breadboard components. [A] [B] [C]

Hi, I do the same thing when building toriodal matching and balance/unbalance RF transformers. [DSCN7246] Tom... :smiley: :+1: :coffee: :australia:

A sharpie allows easy marking on card edge, red V, n black G and whats left is signal. For more than one signal line i break out V and G and band both with on piece of hs tubing and then the G lead with a smaller dia piece of hs as a polarity indicator. [1646282302968]

Maybe not my best contribution, But I made two simple holders for my two multimeters today. I just used plastic pipes, som wood and hot glue. It was nice to have a little extra space on the bench. [image] [image] [image]

Going vertical is often overlooked by people. :+1:
