{"title":"Adafruit Swirly Aluminium Mounting Grid for 0.1in PCBs","handle":"adafruit-swirly-aluminum-mounting-grid-for-0-1-spaced-pcbs-1","url":"/products/adafruit-swirly-aluminum-mounting-grid-for-0-1-spaced-pcbs-1","description":"This swirly aluminium mounting grid gives small maker boards a sturdy mechanical base when you are building plug-and-play projects with STEMMA QT boards, sensors, Feathers and other 0.1 inch-spaced PCBs.It is made using a single-sided aluminium-core PCB process, but there is no copper layer — just the aluminium backing with black soldermask and silkscreen. The aluminium is electrically and thermally conductive, so take care when using metal screws unless you intentionally want the whole plate to act as a ground plane.The grid uses a 5x5 block layout with dots, holes and slots to help line up many common 0.1 inch mounting patterns. The aluminium can also be cut, drilled, machined or bent if your project needs more customisation.Adafruit also provides a KiCad Python script grid generator if you want to make your own grid in another size.Specifications:Plate thickness: 0.062\" thick aluminum plateMounting compatibility: For 0.1\" grid mounting projectsDimensions: 3\" x 3\" dimensionsGrid generator: KiCad Python script grid generator available for making any size your desireProduct Dimensions: 75.0mm x 75.0mm x 1.5mm / 3.0\" x 3.0\" x 0.1\"Product Weight: 13.6g / 0.5ozSquare size: 0.6\" x 0.6\"Hole and slot spacing: every 0.2 inchesDrill hole diameter: 0.1\" / 2.54mm diameterSlot size: 0.11\" x 0.3\" (2.75 x 7.5mm)Block layout: 5x5 'blocks'Overall size: 3\" x 3\" in size or about 75x75mmA handy mounting base for prototypes, sensor clusters and compact STEMMA QT builds where a breadboard is not part of the final mechanical design.","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"PCB Mounting Plate","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":15766,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-5779","mpn":"ADA5779","price":9.7,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":44}]}
