Best way to mount Gecko modules ?

on 2003-01-20 08:03:49 UTC
These Gecko module are so small, they seem to have economized on the length of the mounting plate!

An extra 0.3" on length and threaded holes would have made these modules ideal and easy to mount.

At the moment I have 4 holes drilled and using nuts and bolts to mount the module just does not look
right, in fact it is not going to work in the place where I have to finally mount it.

I may have to machine special brackets, and would appreciate any ideas for better way to mount these modules.

As there are lots of Gecko users here, maybe some one could throw some light on how they managed to mount them.

I do have one complaint about the Gecko modules. Using the nomenclature "Common" for the +5V is a bad choice.
In the past 48 years I've come to understand the term Common to be synonymous with Ground.... The only thing that saved me making a wrong connection, was reading the instructions first. Anyway, it just looks WRONG!
