appmod clearance

Hi, when you plug in an app mod, can someone tell me how much
clearance there is between the app mod board and the board it's
plugging into? I imagine it depends upon the height of the header
receptacles on the motherboard, so what is the std size being used
there? Also, how long are the pins sticking out the bottom of the app
mod boards? Is there a spec on this?

thanks

    The AppMod comes with a standoff and a 2x10 connector. If you install the
    standoff in the hole near the front of the Rev C BOE, and plug the spare
    connector into the AppMod Connector you'll be in great shape. If you don't want
    to
    use the standoff or the spare connector, the back of the AppMod board is devoid
    of traces in the area where it might touch the top of the Stamp so there is
    no chance of a short.

    Thanks Sid, it sounds like the app mods are standardized. Can you
    tell me how long is the standoff that is supplied with the app mods?
    That will be the distance between board surfaces.

    thanks,

    I think it is 7/8". Parallax has a few bare AppMod boards at 10.00 each. I
    have bought nine of them and built up an ADC module, a quad op-amp module, a
    BS2 slave module, an LM386 audio amp module, a DS1302 clock module, a 595/2803
    module and a TPIC6595 module. When I need something, I just plug it into the
    Stamp. Works great!!
