DIP SWITCH fix to chassis (join!)

[richon]

Hi, I need ideas so please be really creative

I got a Dipswitch of 8 "switches" but I have no idea to fix it to the chassis of a "pedal in progress" to be like this (i doesn't need to be the same although)





any ideas?

You'd need a cutout in the enclosure a tiny bit bigger than the switch block, then you mount the board inside the enclosure using standoffs so that the block pokes just enough through the hole. You could give the block its own little board and run a ribbon cable to the main FX circuit.

hi....

you mean glued standoff or through the chasis with metalic standoff??

Whichever works best for you. Glue might not have the long-term durability for something that might be leant on when a switch gets changed.
