Panel-mounted components
Panel mounted components are very similar to board mounted components without having to worry about the board at all. We can place them directly into the assembly and then cut the corresponding holes in the enclosure. There's a couple different ways to work with panel mounted components. Number one is I can cut the hole were I need it to be first and then place the connector in it. Or secondly, I can place the connector where I want it and then cut the corresponding hole to size. So in this case here I found an example of, I already cut the hole, and here I have the connector. And we're just going to go over some basic mating techniques, here just bring that in. So we know that right here in the back of this connector, we have a little foam washer here, so we know that's mated face, and I'm going to mate that to this one here. Bring it together, and then I can still slide this around here. We know that this central face here is going to be inside of here, and if you pick the edge by…
