Brass standoffs are essential components in electronic projects, particularly in applications where circuit boards need to be securely mounted within an enclosure or chassis.

Here's how they are typically used:

1. Board Mounting: Brass standoffs are used to elevate and secure printed circuit boards (PCBs) within an electronic enclosure or chassis. They provide a stable platform for the PCB, preventing it from coming into contact with conductive surfaces that could cause short circuits.

2. Mechanical Support: Standoffs act as spacers between the PCB and the mounting surface, ensuring proper ventilation and preventing heat buildup. This is crucial for maintaining the integrity of sensitive electronic components.

3. Isolation: Brass standoffs help to electrically isolate the PCB from the chassis or enclosure. This isolation is essential for preventing electrical interference, reducing the risk of noise and signal degradation, and enhancing overall circuit performance.

4. Easy Access: Standoffs facilitate easy access to the PCB for maintenance, repairs, or upgrades. By raising the board above the mounting surface, technicians can easily reach components and make necessary adjustments without disassembling the entire system.

5. Vibration Dampening: In applications where vibration is a concern, brass standoffs can help dampen vibrations transmitted to the PCB, thereby reducing the risk of component failure or solder joint fatigue over time.

6. Grounding: Depending on the design, brass standoffs can also be used as grounding points for the PCB. By connecting the standoffs to the ground plane on the PCB, they provide a convenient and reliable grounding solution.

Overall, brass standoffs play a crucial role in ensuring the structural integrity, electrical isolation, and proper functioning of electronic systems. Their versatility and reliability make them indispensable components in a wide range of electronic projects.

3D printing plastics often have low yield strength and cannot reliably produce threaded features. Embedded metal nuts provide stronger and more precise threading for hidden fasteners. The nut melts and reflows the plastic around it, enhancing its strength. However, there are design constraints - the nut must be on a part face and cannot be reinforced beyond the plastic's properties.

TYWE2S (ESP-02S) is a low-cost, small-size WiFi module, the module is packaged with gold fingers, which is convenient for plug-in welding products. The module chip is ESP8285, its built-in memory is 16Mbit, ESP8285 uses built-in flash, which has better antistatic performance than ESP8266.

Technical Specifications

A. Pin definition diagram

B. Module package drawing

C. Application schematic

D. How to program: GPIO0 can be programmed as long as the low level is grounded. After programming, cancel the grounding, otherwise it will not work.

Note

1. The maximum instantaneous current of ESP8285 radio frequency can reach 400~500mA, so the minimum power supply requirement is 500mA. LDOs such as XC6206 and 7533 cannot be used;

2. ESP8285's anti-static ability is slightly weaker. Pay attention to electrostatic protection in the dry season in winter;

3. Based on the 500mA power supply requirement, it is recommended that the wiring between the power supply and the ground is not less than 30mil. If the power line has vias, it is recommended to make 2~3 to prevent PCB production deviation;

4. For better RF performance, please refer to the module placement method in the manual. If the product has certification requirements, it is recommended that there is no parallel wiring near the PCB antenna, and the download interface should be reserved far from the antenna pad;

5. It is recommended to erase the module before downloading the program, otherwise there may be some failure to start;

6. If the module fails to start normally and keeps restarting, it is recommended to check the power supply line, including power supply material parameters, power trace width, vias on the power trace, diodes connected in series to the power supply, etc.
