I've been thinking about the CircuitShell idea after running across it.

You could do something similar with a standard Hammond die cast box -- discard the lid and invert the case and attach to the PCB. Use two of them at right angles on the top and bottom as in the CircuitShell if necessary.

Either way, of course, requires that you design the PCB to fit the box and that you watch the trace routing around the box edges if you go with a conductive enclosure such as the Hammond series.

This is interesting, but it appears that they only make the one size CircuitShell. You have to make your PCB design fit their shell, not vice versa. Maybe Elecraft could get them to produce a mini-module version, though.

Here's something that was passed along to me by Jack, K8ZOA. Might be interesting for board level kits, new projects and Elecraft mini-modules.
