hi again all,
i'm putting together a usb dac inside of a plastic enclosure. securing power, rca jacks and LEDs to the surface all seem easy. however, it doesn't appear obvious to me how to go about securing the female usb jack.
the jack is just this little aluminum square. four DIP pins protrude from the base. two, useless looking hooks flank the sides of the DIP pins. there are no screw holes on the thing.
do i just drill a hole in the side of my enclosure, sit the jack there and hot glue the hell out of it? it seems like there has to be a more elegant way of doing this.
thanks a lot! (most likely for some solution that's been staring me in the face!)
