[Elecraft] Installing and Soldering U6 LCD

[Paul Clay]

Having installed the LED diffuser, I'm about to 
install the LCD.  "Dry fitting" the part, as it 
were, I notice that the terminal pins just barely 
touch the surface of the circuit board pads.

Now I know that the manual specifies that the pins 
of some LCDs supplied in K2 kits will not 
protrude thru the circuit board, in which case 
the manual directs you to solder the LCD from the 
top of the circuit board.  But I'm concerned that 
my LCD protrudes into the top of the circuit 
board mounting hole just barely, if at all.  Is 
this really a problem?

I rechecked the mounting height of the LED 
diffuser and (supported by the two spacers) it is 
"spot on" at 1/8" above the circuit board height. 

Thanks in advance for your comments or 
suggestions.
