I'm seeking a supplier that supply gold plated metal spacer, washer
and screw which is to be used to pass 10Amp audio waveform signal
between two boards about 12mm aparts. The screw is M3.

Has anyone done this kind of arrangement before, is gold plated
necessary for reliable contacts, how do they performs over vibration?
The PCB size is 100mm diameter and supported by separate spacer
(nylon). The PCB has gold plated pads.

Is brass sufficiently reliable for electrical contacts?


Brass, preferably plated, is fine. Alodined aluminum would work well
too.

"Alodined"? Bwuahahahahahahaa! Talk about overkill!

There are plenty of standoffs in the market that are bare Aluminum and
they work fine in nearly all environs.

The important thing is to make sure the screws stay tight.

No shit?

The
PCB material will tend to cold-flow over time,

That depends on what the PCB is made from, Mr. Retarded Assumption Boy.

making the screws
loose, and then the connection can heat up because of the 10 amps,
which enhances the cold flow, and you have runaway.

You are guessing as you go.... again... obviously.

Use wavy or
belleville lockwashers, split rings if that's all you have.

Bullshit. Those are for mechanical, NOT electrical connections, you
stupid twit.

The current is kind of low for this to happen, but I've seen serious
waveform distortion from running high currents through steel
spacers... at currents like 100 amps RMS. Thought they were brass, but
they turned out to be plated steel. That sure confused me for a while.

I'll bet that wasn't hard to do.


You are getting weirder and weirder. Every one of your posts is a rant
about how smart you are and how retarded everyone else is. You have
turned into a snarling, mangy junkyard dog.

You are very angry and very isolated. That can't be fun.

John

Maybe AlwaysWrong is right? Anyone who responds to AlwaysWrong's
posts all the time must certainly be retarded, don't you think?

If responding to DimBulb is retarded, what is responding to responses to
DimBulb? ...just asking.

There are several threads where I
made contributory comments this very weak.

I have zero interest in any of the bullshit that you spew, much less

You never ask questions because you're only here to insult

I do not ask questions because I do not need any answers. When I give

And his mother dresses him funny...

He has the worst case of Angry Tech Syndrome that I've ever seen, and
I've seen some bad ones.

ATS is common in Silicon Valley, where the engineers are superstars
and the techs are too often at the bottom of the glamour heap. The
admins date the managers and engineers, not the techs. The techs know
that the engineers do math and other magic they can't understand, so
react by announcing that the engineers are pansy idiot eggheads, and
wear cowboy hats and drive jacked-up 4x4s to show how manly they are.
As the techs get older and work for young engineers who make twice
what they do, they get even madder.

Bad dynamics for sure, which is why my company doesn't have techs.

Not all techs are like that, John. Some can be a real asset to their
company, and often spot things others miss.

design review as a tech. Not that some of the engineers liked it,
because I wasn't afraid to point out valid mistakes. I never pointed to
an individual and blamed them, though. Whenever possible, I caught them
away from others and gave them the information. Most appreciated it,
but two would blow up every time.

Rather than 'Do a dimbulb', I had researched the issue and found what
we needed to do to fix the problem, and never demanded credit for the
fix. I've met blithering idiots like dimbulb at a couple companies.

Usually, they had been there 15 or 20 years and were at the top of the
tech food chain, yet their skills were well out of date. Several
reminded me of the PHB in Dilbert strips.

Certainly. But a lot are, and some companies, especially big ones,
have a style that tends to alienate techs and production workers.

I sat through more than one
design review as a tech. Not that some of the engineers liked it,
because I wasn't afraid to point out valid mistakes. I never pointed to
an individual and blamed them, though. Whenever possible, I caught them
away from others and gave them the information. Most appreciated it,

We had a PCB design review yesterday and a production person sat in.
He pointed out a couple of mistakes we made. Thanks, Paulo.

The engineers are blithering idiots, too, if they don't help and
respect the techs.

Electronics keeps changing at an absurd pace. Everybody has to work at
it to keep up.

You're right. They *were* very weak. Could you make stronger
ones?
