Fracture Resistant Modules

Fracture Resistant Modules

The picture to the left shows a crack in a module housing caused by over tightening a module mounting bolt. This crack can progress into a  fracture as shown in the next picture.  A module with a fractured flange is insecurely mounted and could cause a failure. The picture to the left shows how fracture resistance is improved by contouring the module housing around the bolt hole.
