Hi Michael, Have a look at: http://www.pcblibraries.com/downloads/files/Mounting%20Holes.zip I have already drawn some of them as pcb footprints (MTG300_*.fp .. MTG470_*.fp). If you want them, just say yes. Kind regards, Bert Timmerman -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED

For clearance drill, try googling "metric free-fit drill". For the annulus, I like to be at least as large as a typical screw head. I find the catalog at mcmaster.com to have lots of representative data for hardware. Of course, mcmaster.com would be an expensive way for you to buy hardware w

I've been trying to find info on line and mic level signal characteristics. I checked ieee for an audio signal, computer io... standards and anything else I thought would lead me to a definition of each and came up with nothing. Any direction is grately appreciated. _

Hello fellow gEDA/pcb users, I've got a PCB mechanical design question. I have given up on the idea of copying the form factor of EN routers (basically I don't really like that form factor) and I'm going for a form factor of my own. However, being a proud citizen of the Union of Soviet Socialist
