View Full Version : Low Prifile B9A PCB sockets


Ian Bell[_2_]

I am building a mic pre in a 2U 19 inch rack box. It turns out the PCB
thickness plus the B9A socket height plus the tube height is exactly 2U.
Trouble is I need to mount the PCB a little above the the case bottom so
I need to gain a few mm from somewhere. The PCB mounting B9A sockets I
have at the moment are 14mm high so my easiest solution would be to find
a low profile version of these that are 10mm or less high. Anyone know
of a source of such a socket??

Cheers

** Then the tubes mount in the HORIZONTAL plane !!

Simpler to punch the PCB and use through-mount sockets. There are any
number of them available.

Nor do you think much either. Perhaps he wants everything to be on one
board without going through the heroics of horizontal sockets... and
as actual, direct, off-the-shelf solutions to his problem are readily
available, your suggestion is simple idiocy.

They are, however, a sure sign of late stage

In order to minimise microphony, the grids need to be vertical not
horizontal, so although mounting them horizontally solves the height
problem it creates another.

Got a mirror? Find it there - although you most definitely would be
the weakest.
