Hello,

I happen to be trouble with screws and nuts on the PCBA recently. Can someone point to a site to show how mechanical hardware assembly installation is carried out on PCBA?

I have come across all sort of assembly configuration on just the screw, washers and nut on PCBA that I did not know which is correct. Different engineers used different method and even different screw or nuts on the same build PCBA. What should be correct hardware assembly configuration.

Thanks and regards,
Wee Mei
