How about Loctite and nylon washers?

We had to design a .004" FR4 insulator as another drawing and callout and detail where to place it on our assembly drawing. Funny how the -DTL spec shows these holes a mile away from pins 1 and 13 when they're really <.01" away. Good luck with your effort.

We're specifying the use of a 25 pin Micro-D connector (MIL-DTL-83513/10C), PCB mount. The connector body has #2-56 inserts, so the mounting hardware (#2 screws) are installed from the solder-side of the PWB into the connector. The way this connector is designed, the mounting holes are located .083" from the 2 outer-most PTHs in the center row. The mounting screw and associated washer will overlap these 2 PTHs on the solder side. Has anyone used these connectors in the past and what did you do to prevent the hardware from contacting the PTHs? We're thinking a spacer to raise the washer/screw up off the board.
