  Hi Alexey,

  look like low profile ones. As long as the screws are not too long, one can probably use ERF5's with a 5mm high profile. 

  Daniel, will you find time to come up with a heat sink design, which would match the anticipated layout (provide cooling for both ASICs and FPGAs, and whatever else needs to be cooled), and also provide options for mounting? I can imagine we just add four threaded fixtures at the corners of the ASIC PCB rather than relying on a separate support structure?

  Cheers,

    Alexander.

Tentatively it will be nylon nuts as shown below.

I ordered them for a test. I believe the geometrical dimensions for any other nut type (if nylon is not strong enough) will be similar.

  Hi Alexey,

 

  (Cc to the pfRICH electronics list)

 

  can you please share the models (or sizes) of screws and nuts we are presently planning to use to fix the ASIC boards to HRPPDs, with the colleagues developing these ASIC boards?

 

  We are particularly interested in screw height and nut dimensions, to see what should be the minimal clearance between the ASIC backplane and FPGA mezzanine board, but also how much space will the nuts take away from the ASIC board footprint. We also better agree on the diameter of the integrated nut washer and / or tool used to tighten them, in order to avoid surprises in the future (like a need to thin down stock tool diameter, which plagued us in one of the previous designs).

 

  Cheers,

    Alexander.
