available standoffs for standard 2U rack template

Post by rhamelink »

I am brand new to this software and preparing a design for our amplifier product.
I attempted to use an available blind standoff (PEM) to mount our amplifier boards but a warning states:

"PEM BSO-032-12ZI requires material at least 0.05 inches thick. Material used is 0.048 inches thick."

Can these PEMs be used? or is there an alternative available from the library that is compatible with 0.048" ?

solved it. was selecting too large of a PEM for my circuit boards.
proper 8-32's fit just fine.
