KIO2 DB9 Threaded Studs

[Steven Pituch]

Hi all,
I know I am always missing stuff in the manuals, but I have looked and
not found the answer to this question.

I am installing the KIO2 in my K2 #402 and the two threaded studs that
connect the female DB9 connector to the chassis at the rear have a
threaded shaft portion which is 3/16 inch long.  This will clearly
thread past the top of the hex nuts and run into the side of the circuit
board.  I am _sure_ (;o)???? yeah!) I installed the board to the db9
correctly.  I am ready to take a dremel cut off disc to the threaded
shafts to shorten them.

But this can't be the first time this has happened, so I am thinking I
goofed somewhere.

How about it?

Thanks,
Steve, W2MY

Steve,

When the KIO2 is mounted on the rear panel, the threads do not protrude
through the nut.  Yes, what you say is true if you look at it without the
panel thickness under the shoulders of the studs.
