Example Lids as Circuit Boards (PCB) Part 2

Summary
This short blog
follows on from the previous blog listing some drawings for lids/plates that were replaced with circuit boards.

Circuit Boards Lids
While the previous blog used a clearance of at least 0.1 mm per edge, some of the new lids used an interference fit. Board dimensions should be validated to suit each design.

Again for verification, the Altium Designer files were saved as STEP files, converted to STL files then 3D printed before manufactured.

The DXF files below were generated using the Export feature in Altium Designer. The listed DXF files can be imported into an Altium PCB project using measurements in millimetres.
