I was simply going to glue them to the pcb but wanted first to get input as to other home brewer's method of mounting toroids to a pcb. The toroids will be FT-37-43 type wide band transformers in the 10MHz range. Your input is welcome. Take care. -jim WB5KYE Hi Jim, I guess the first thing I would consider is differences with the leads getting to pads. Horizontal is more stable than vertical, but takes up more space. I guess the big factor would be the space requirement. I would never mount one vertical if there were space for horizontal. That determination would be dependent on the layout of your circuit board. Good luck. Gary N4AST |
