Screwing Nucleo F767ZI

[WBen .2]

Hello community ! I hope you are doing well,

I have actually a question which is kind of "DIY" and is not MCU developpment related. 

I have Nucleo F767ZI, and I need to get it screwed to a plexiglas board. I didn't find out whether the holes next to arduino pins (which are tycpically present in all nucléo models) are for screws or not. I've been looking for an answer but couldn't find a similar topic. I noticed that there are some bias and pcb routing close to the holes, so I didn't want to risk giving the board a chance to be damaged.

I would be thankful if someone have an answer for this.

Best regards.

what about plastic screws :D

Javier's idea was very good, but even if the holes are not intended for screws, they could be used for fastening. With a Gerber viewer, e.g. the free GerbView from the Kicad package, it is easy to see that there is only a little around the 5 holes that could possibly be damaged. For the middle hole, a screw that is too thick should not be used and for the hole at pin 1 of CN7 there is neither space for a nut nor for the screw head.

Good luck!
