Tuna Can Electronics Project PCB

grabcad

This is a model of the PCB that can be used to get started on a small electronics design project quickly without spending much time on the electronics container or packaging.Its helpful for people who are on a low budget (like hobbyists or experimenters) who don't want to waste time or money buying a box or designing something that has to be 3D printed.Holes are sized for either 3mm (5mm tall) or #4 screw (0.25" tall) standoffs with solder-mask clearance for compression of standoffs in either plastic or metal. Overall diameter is 82mm and PCB thickness is 1.5mm or 0.062" standard PCB thickness. There is a single slot for anti-rotation and polarization of the board into the can. There will need to be a guide rail glued into the inside of the can to support this feature, but should be simple enough to accommodate if desired.NOTE : This can is created when used with a "side-cutting" can opener. The side-cutting breaks the seal of the can without causing sharp edges that can cut you ! There are many available on-line, so be sure to use this type of can opener when creating this project box.In addition its helpful to the environment by following the rules of : REDUCE, REUSE, and RECYCLE.
