the specified length for the mounting screws. The specified
screw length allows full use of the mounting hole threads,
while avoiding damaging or placing unwanted stress on the
PCB. Figure 3-8 specifies the minimum clearance between
the PCB and the screws in the mounting holes. To avoid
stripping the mounting hole threads, the maximum torque ap-
plied to the screws must not exceed 8 inch-pounds. A maxi-
mum screw length of 0.25 inches may be used.
