[sdiy] Frac Rack PCB sizes

[Dave Magnuson]

Hi Harry;

I have both Paia and Blacet racks here, and took a few dimensions.   These 
are essentially maximum PCB sizes:

Paia cabinet:
- Space between top / bottom rail: 4.625"
- Cabinet depth:  7.00"

Blacet cabinet:
-Space between top / bottom rail: 4.125"
-cabinet depth: 6.875"

In either case, you'd be nearly touching the rails / back panel with the 
above dimensions - so you'll want to subtract for desired clearance.

I'm not sure if there are "standard" mounting holes:   All of the blacet 
modules that I own are mounted by the nuts on the pots.   And I only have 1 
Paia module, so I'd hesistate to make assumptions on their mounting holes

If it were me, I'd design for the Blacet standards - and then your PCB will 
fit in either case design.
