<^< How E-blocks Connect to Each Other | Course Index | Using a Backplane >^>
E-blocks can be mounted onto a metal backplane to form a completely rugged system.
To facilitate this each E-block is fitted with 4 off 3 mm holes spaced at 20mm intervals. M3 bolts with spacers can be used to mount the E-blocks onto a backplane which has 4mm holes on a regular 20mm grid.
The spatial relationship between the mounting holes on the backplane, the holes on the E-blocks and the spacing of each D-type plug and socket on the E-blocks are such that each E-block will fit into another and yet still be mountable on the backplane.
