Hal,



Have you considered an o-ring groove in the plastic well?



Assuming greases won't affect your electronics, you could add a SMALL

skin of grease to the o-ring to make it slide in easily.



How about a tool that is just smaller than the bore that can push the

o-ring into place?



Just a couple of quick ideas.

Subject: [TN] Oring installation help needed



Hello there,



This is marginally related to electronics, but hopefully someone on the

list has some relevant experience.



 



We are using some small Orings in some of our assemblies, just to keep

splashed water out, nothing really high pressure at all.  We need to

seat these Orings into a plastic well, which is slightly smaller than

the uncompressed OD of the Oring.  This is a bit of a hassle, especially

on the products where there are 20 Orings.



 



Has anyone developed any sort of a neat little compression and insertion

tool for Orings?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!



 



Thanks,



Hal Winslow
