How to secure the power terminal on the large breadboard (PN 340-002P)

[Alex]

Hi, a customers has question about how to secure the power terminal in the large breadboard we sell. (see below email).

 

Hi, I ordered this item as

      part of a recent order: 424-BB-KIT-LARGE The item has a design flaw which

      means that the power terminal pins cannot be mounted onto the back board

      securely. To mount the power terminals one must align 2 washers on either

      side of the backboard. These washers have cut outs that match slots in the

      board hole. Unfortunaly because the back board is too thin these washers

      can never be mounted properly and the each power terminal wobbles even

      when aligned correctly and tightened appropriately. The fault would is

      obvious to anyone trying to assemble the item and it does seem

      disappointing that this board was clearly never tested before being sold

      to customers - unless of course the manufacturer has reduced the thickness

      of the backboard between pre-production samples and the production run.

 

Here are instructions: 

 

1) Take out the nut and washer from the power terminal

2) Insert the terminal into the hole on the board (e.g. the black one for the ground)

3) Put the washer back on the back of the board

4) Put the nut on top of the washer and fasten it.

5) Flip the board and fasten the top of the terminal
