Conway, Just my way of working, I HATE things like the Panavise, it is more of an encumbrance than a help IMHO. However, you may elect to delay mounting the 2D connectors until you need to mount the side panels - that will allow you to use your Panavise if that is your preference.
With or without the 2D connectors, do not use the panavise until after you have mounted the relays - use the procedure in the manual to hold the relays in place with a book (or board or other hard surface) to allow you to flip the board over with the relays in place prior to soldering. 73, Don W3FPR Conway Yee wrote: > I typically secure PC boards with a Panavise.
