-*Usually, self-clinching standoffs or studs are inserted from the outside of the face through to the inside. In this case, take the material thickness into account when you select the height of the fasteners, to ensure there is sufficient clearance between the fasteners and any component (such as a circuit board) on the inside of the enclosure. For example, a 0.375" standoff mounted in a 14-gauge (0.075") enclosure wall will provide only 0.300" clearance to the surface of the component, and less if the metal is thicker.
+*When adding self-clinching standoffs or studs to the inside, take the material thickness into account when you select the height of the fasteners, to ensure there is sufficient clearance between the fasteners and any component (such as a circuit board) on the inside of the enclosure.

 *Also take material thickness into account when aligning a connector or circuit board against the inside of the case. If connectors are mounted too close to the edge of the board, the board could get jammed into position when mounted, thus inducing stress on the board and compromising its electrical integrity.
 *To ensure a proper fit, subtract both the material thickness plus 10/1000" (allowance for manufacturing variability) from the standoff height. If you are not sure about the material thickness, email sales@protocase.com with the type, size, and style (for example, aluminum U Shape 20" wide, 10" high, 15" deep). You can also measure the standoff from the inside of the case using the [[Face_Editor#Displaying_measurements | '''Measure''' tool]].<br>
