Enclosures - Candy
Candy packaging makes great stealth packaging for small electronics projects. These packages are inexpensive, easy to find and often watertight.
Small Altoids tins
- Interior dimensions 2.1"W x 1,4"D x 0.59"H
- Radius of curvature = 0.25"
- PCB size = 1.8" x 1.1"
Large Altoids' tin
- Interior dimensions 3.5"W x 2.2"D x 0.8"H
- Radius of curvature = 0.375"
*PCB size = 1.8" x 1.1"
- Nominal placement
Height Stackup (Large Altoids' tin)
Item mm in GPS 6.200 0.244 PCB 1.575 0.062 Battery 800 mAh 6.000 0.236 Total 13.775 0.542
Tic Tac package
The main advantage of the Tic Tac container is that it has a watertight door which could easily allow access to the USB port. The door could be used with a USB connector on the opposite side of the PCB from the GPS. The Mini-B head of the USB cable is 0.36" x 0.39" which fits into the opening 0.39" x 0.65". alignment would need to be closely monitored.
The package is a bit small, but should fit since it is tapered from the top to the bottom. Interior minimum dimensions at the taper bottom - 1.5"W x 2.4"H x 0.48"D. The inside of the white top is 0.5" x 1.55".
