There is a version with a punch down block too. ( as well as usb versions)

Well, if you have lots of panel space available (not likely, I know), you could make any old round hole(s), and cover it with a Keystone style wall plate. These come with one to six snap-in ports for RJ11, RJ45, BNC, RCA, F, or even banana plug or binding posts. Each connector is available pre-mounted in a suitable bezel.

The wall plate is the same size as a duplex AC socket, 2.5 x 4.25 inch.

I like pimfg.com for their selection and prices on these items, but probably the hardware aisle at the BORG would have some, too.

--- I haven't read through the thread but, if no one has else suggested it, why not nibble out the opening for a snap-in jack in a square/rectangular piece of 0.062" aluminum, FR-4, etc., then drill 4 mounting holes at its corners, a clearance hole in the ABS box for the rear of the jack, mounting holes for the panel, and put the thing together with machine screws?

That's my answer as well. Go to your local chainsaw repair place and ask for a saw sharpening file; they come in sizes down to about 1/8". Also a triangle file if you need a corner.

I don't have a mill and use these all the time making square holes in metal stock, also keyholes and such.

I think he found a solution with this little fellah

Yup. Already ordered.

Now if I could only find some 7mm x 12mm proto board :-(

I found an ancient piezo "ringer" schematic, converted it to 74HCxxx and added gating. Simulates per the typical tone frequencies, so that looks good....

And I'm close on the processing logic to answer/hang-up on 800-number callers. ...Jim Thompson

--- I've got lots of 0.062 thick FR4 perfboard with 0.025 holes in it on a

If you can use it tell me how much you need and I'll send you some.

I need the equivalent of six boards, each 7mm x 12mm. ...Jim Thompson

.28 inch by .47 inch ?

Aaaargh!

John Fields, make that 7cm x 12cm :-( ...Jim Thompson

For when you run low on freebies

Been there already. It's phenolic :-(

In the future I may just layout a smaller version of my IC breadboard scheme and get it made on one of the PCB websites. ...Jim Thompson

Cheers! Rich

Yes. What's wrong with phenolic in this application?

In my Dad's TV shop I saw so many phenolic failures I'm just resistant ;-) ...Jim Thompson

I had one phenolic board with a 1/2" hole burnt through it, in the early '70s. The OEM couldn't supply a replacement board, so I filled the hole with Bondo, and replaced the missing traces with scraps of copper foil that I peeled off junk mainframe computer boards. :)

Sno-o-o-ort! That's so funny (and real) I'm laughing so hard I crying ;-) ...Jim Thompson
