How close can switches be?
Thanks to the replies in my previous post, Stein Air had the switches I was looking for. But you know how it goes, one problem solved, another one created. My current panel has the switches 7/8" (0.875") apart, the new switches are 0.833" wide, leaving a very little bit of space.
So, is 0.042" in-between switches enough, or am I looking at redoing my panel? Thanks, Steve |
How big are your hands?
Consult with Stein, they can give you some guidance. My flap switch I moved out a little bit because it was too close to my throttle quadrant. Othere switches I spaced subtly further away from others, depending on the function. |

Cool, Thanks.
Carlos, what program are you using? I did mine with XPanel. https://www.xpanelsoftware.com/ |
I don't have a dog in this hunt, but something doesn't look right here. In the second picture of post 3 above, it looks like way more than .042 gap between those switches.
Maybe thats an optical illusion or camera angle or something, but is it possible that here's a math error in the original question? Or maybe those aren't the sam switches in post 3? |

They are 0.875 wide, so the gap is 0.042 = well close enough for govt work...:) |

Learning here
I am just learning here, but after one is done wiring, and buttoning up the panel for good, do you guys (or gals) normally cover all the exposed metal connections with shrink sleeving or something ?
