Standoff height?

Another discrepancy between Octopart BOM and CSV...

The CSV has 6mm M-F standoff, Octopart has 5mm

Should we assume Octopart BOM is correct?

Well.

6mm is correct, but even though Harwin make a 6mm M-F spacer, Octopart doesn't list it.

Also: this is dependent on the length of your screws. With the counterrsunk screws, I needed a 6mm spacer to accommodate them; with panheads, the 5mm one was fine. I could go looking for alternate parts. If you're not using countersunk holes, 5mm should be fine.

This is a weird discrepancy, but I'm not sure how best to solve it.

So here's alternate part from mouser that's 6mm, but only 4.5 wide

(it seems Mouser does not stock the Harwin 6mm one)

Might be good to mention the length being an option in the docs?

Followup thought - if your fader bats/arms/shafts (what are those called anyway) are too long/tall for your chosen fader caps, you could potentially get longer top spacers to raise the panel up a bit.

Useful addendum for the build docs?
