I build a pedal using a relay bypass module for the first time . Right now I've attached it to the bottom of the SPST momentary switch via some electrical tape. But this doesn't seem like a durable option long term.

I'm wondering how people usually secure these modules in their builds? Do you secure them to the bottom of the SPST switch with something stronger than electrical tape? Do you tuck it into the corner of the enclosure? Curious to know!

The key feature of a relay is that you can mount it ANYwhere, far-far away from the user control.

Your home heating/cooling system has a relay down in the basement, worked by your thermostat in the living space. In classic telephones a relay downtown was clacked by lifting a phone miles down the road.

So I say screw it... anywhere.

BUT that product does not seem to have ANY way to mount it??

Yeah, try to fang it on the side of your enclosure with some double sided tape or something? Otherwise, you could find some strong stiff wires and use them to connect to SW?

Yeah, doesn't come with any mounting material. I'll try some stiffer wire!
