PCB assembly with metal case.
Typical Metal enclosures: stainless steel, aluminums,
Production process type: metal stamping, die casting,
Following is a case study.
Assembly of the module IPU
Prerequisites
To begin the assembly, you must have:
– A PCB card type IPU (length 80 mm) assembled (see document GUIDE 3: ASSEMBLY OF THE
PCB CARD TYPE IPU)
– A Nanopi NEO plus 2 already prepared (see document GUIDE 1: ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF THE NANOPI)
– An enclosure of length 80 mm
– A cover plate type 1
– A cover plate type 2
– 8 screws M3*8 T10 black color
– A rivet diameter 3.2 mm, length 16 mm
