fitting the devices into place but are not soldering them just yet. Ease the panel back on, taking care
that the push switches are not squashed underneath. Fit a couple of pot nuts to hold the panel in
place. Now tease each LED through its panel hole by using its leads that are sticking out the bottom
of the board.
If you are using standard dome topped LEDs then simply push them into the hole as far as they will
go and solder each one in turn. If you are using flat topped LEDs then you may wish to have them
align with the top surface of the panel. This is not a trivial task but one way is to use a bit of sticky
tape over the holes and let the LEDs push up against that before soldering each one in turn.
The grip of the multiple SIL interconnects are strong enough to hold the two boards together for
most uses. Should you require more rigidity then a
small
blob of silicone sealant or heat melt glue
across the join between the plastic housings of CN1, CN8 and CN11 would hold everything
together tightly. However, it is best not to do this until your unit has been thoroughly tested.
