NIM module standards

[[email protected]]

Hi all,

I want to make a single width NIM module, but I don't know what the
standard dimensions for the NIM module front panels is. Specifically, I
would like to know where the screws should go and the diameters of
these holes. Can anyone help me? Thank you.

The NIM standard will define where the screws that hold the panel into
the crate go, but won't define where the screws holding the panel to
the rest of the module go - that is up to the designer of the module.

I've got the spec at work, but I'm not there today - email me at
bennett (at) triumf.ca, and I'll get back to you on Monday with what
info I have.
