Howdy all.

I've got 2 PCB's that just barely overlap in an enclosure. The one on the bottom is secured by pots/switches.
However, how do I go about securing the upper one so it's not just floating around in there?

Here's what I'm working with:


Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I would get some craft foam sheets—which are super useful in lots of ways you'll find out as soon as you have some on your bench—and put one between the PCBs and another between the top PCB and the enclosure lid. It looks like the fit will be tight enough to hold it in place that way. Unless you're going on tour and planning to give it to baggage handlers, I expect it would hold together fine.

Right on. I'll give that a whirl! Thanks Scott!

There are a variety of "standoffs" to choose from as well. Finding the right one can be a little daunting, though. Especially online. We have a locally owned Ace Hardware here in town that has a bunch of bulk hardward draws. They carry a lot of misc. and interesting bits and bobs. If you've got something like that where you live, might be good to sift through that as well.

They have a bulk hardware drawer????
I never knew that! I will keep that in mind for the next time I go on a paint run. For now though, the foam is holding the guts nicely in place.

Thanks Keith!
