moe 0 Posted January 14, 2008 This is probably a stupid question, but... when mounting a new Altronix power supply board to an existing enclosure, Altronix includes some padded back to back tape. The problem is, I don't see any free spot on the back of the power board to stick the tape. When using this tape, is it ok to stick it to welded areas on the back of the Altronix board?

RickA 0 Posted January 14, 2008 As long as nothing protrudes through the double stick tape, do not want any potential shorts, and make sure that there are no contact points on the cb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think things will protrude through the tape. There are solder points that are sharp and will pierce the padded tape, but they won't make contact with the enclosure. I'm not sure what you mean by "contact points". Can you explain? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahh, I see. No, I will be replacing, not expanding, but thanks for the tips! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
