Paddle Parts
2 Paddle PCB arms (1 left, 1 right)
2 #4-40 3/16” screws
1 13/32” #4-40 hex standoff (10.3mm
long)
1 #4-40 ⅜” screws
1 #6 steel washer (9.8mm x 1.1mm thick)
2 #4 nuts
Paddle Assembly
Separate the paddle arms from each other
and lightly sand or file the edge where
they were connected.
Connect the paddle arms to each other
using the hex standoff to create the
spacing. Be sure the paddle arm text is on
the outside, the exposed contact pads are
on the inside facing each other. Use the two
3/16” screws through the two large holes in
the paddle arm corners.
Insert the paddle arms tabs into the main
PCB on the jack side.
Solder just one corner of one of the arm
tabs on the LED side of the main PCB,
ensuring the arm is parallel with but doesn’t
contact the main PCB except at the
soldering pad. Once it is in position, solder
the rest of the tab.
Solder the other arm in a similar manner.
Install the washer to the ⅜” screw and
secure with a nut. This washer will be the
contact point for both paddle arm pads.
Insert that screw into the hole on the main
PCB marked GND with the washer
between the paddle arms. Secure on the
other side of the PCB with a nut.
Adjust and rotate the washer so that it is
equally spaced between the paddle arms.
Optionally push or pull the arms slightly
while melting the solder to fine tune the
arm spacing.
