Accessories: Mounting Kits

Sharp tools, curious fingers, water, grit, electrostatic discharge—any of these can wreck an LCD, VFD or OLED. Look at the way displays are mounted in commercial gear; a transparent window protects them from environmental hazards. If you're creating a prototype or instrument without the support of a machine shop, our mounting kits may be just the ticket.

The illustration shows the basic principle: Each kit includes a self-adhesive Lexan faceplate 0.020" thick. It serves as a window to view the display, and a large, black border provides a finished surface that hides the countersunk heads of the mounting screws. The "panel" represents your mounting surface, ideally between 0.0625" and 0.080" thick (common for electronic enclosures; thicker materials may require deeper holes for the mounting screws). The package includes appropriate machine screws (2-56 or 4-40, depending on the display) and standoffs or spacers as needed.

These kits are sold at significant savings at the time you purchase your display, but if you forgot or need spares, here they are:
