Re: CDC Electronics Assembly

Hi Gerard,

Indeed that thickness may be too much for the reasons you mention. As 
you know, attaching the shields is a labor intensive procedure and there 
are not many ways to improve on that. I like your suggestion of just 
bending that thin piece for connection to the pins 13 and the holes can 
just be stamped.

Thanks,
Fernando
