Data sheets supply all types of data about electrical components and some of the mechanical fasteners we're going to be using in our design. It's really important to keep track of these data sheets because they're going to be giving us the information we need to put in to our design to make sure we're cutting the right size holes or putting the right type of mounting features into our design. We're going to take a look at a few different data sheets and see what kind of information we're going to get. This is one I just downloaded from McMaster cars. When I was downloading this as a 3D file, I was also able to download the PDF version of this screw. You can remember this is the screw that we used to attach the panels together in our design. And like I said, it's telling you the, the head height, it's giving you the angle of the screw, the length of the screw. And this is great, it can also give you a part number, so if you need to order the part later, it's a great thing to keep this…
