Hi Brad, > is there a glue that is safe to use on the pcb? maybe the two posts from > the bottom of each jack that go through the board could be reinforced > with glue. they'd hold onto the board better. The PCB is made of fiberglass, but it's coated with solder resist (this is what gives it the green color). If you are going to glue something, you should rough up the board underneath the jack. Any glue should work. Epoxy seems like a likely candidate. One of the jacks has a lot of traces underneath it. So the danger of using glue is that it might somehow become adhered to the traces and lift the traces off if the bond to the traces is stronger than the bond between the traces and the board. -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |
