Line 27:
== PCB dimensions and mounting ==
These days Eurorack modules tend to mount the PCB parralel to the front panel, held in place by the pots, jacks and switches.<ref name="six"
To fit between the mounting rails the maximum vertical PCB size can be from 108 mm (4.25") to 110 mm. The width of the PCB needs to be a touch less than that of the front panel, whilst allowing for clearance and taking tolerances into consideration.<ref name="hinton" /><ref name="six" /><ref name="erthenvar" />

== Component layout ==
Choose between having jacks easier to read placed near their associated controls,<ref name="measures"
Design the panel so that behind the panel the component bodies have enough clearance from each other and in front both the controls and the users fingers have enough room to operate. Also check that any close to an edge won't interfere with mounting the panel into its enclosure. Check the angle of rotation of the pot will match the scale going to be marked on the panel.<ref name="mikmo">[http://www.mikmo.dk/synthpanels.html How i make front panels.]</ref><!-- here -->
