Motherboard stand-offs
« on: July 31, 2008, 06:40:22 PM »
Anyone know where I can find some of these in the UK?


[EDIT] Sorry for the massive picture. Replaced... [/EDIT]

I've looked around but can't find any. There are some on eBay but the international shipping was really expensive.

TIA

@Turambar
Thanks. I had seen those ones from Craplin but need flat ones, since I'm attaching the motherboard to Lego so need a flat base to stick to the lego bricks. I suppose as per ZeBeeDee's suggestion I could cut the bases off, though I'm not sure how smooth the bottom will be if I do that. They're only a couple of quid and Craplin is only 10 minutes away on my bike, so I'll pop over tomorrow.

@ZeBeeDee
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try the ones from Craplin first and if not will consider those. Though, don't you need an account to order from RS?

Hi Oli! Thanks for the info. Your comment about PCB holes gave me an idea - search for self-adhesive *PCB* stand-offs rather than *motherboard* standoffs. Sure enough, I found
these, which are perfect! If anybody else is looking for these, Rapid Electronics in the UK also sell them, but they were more expensive than from this eBay seller. I have measured the mount holes in the EFIKA and they are 4mm, so these standoffs should be fine.

Thanks again!
