Mass Measurements

[Matthew]

There are a lot of common questions about measurements and various dimensions of common components that we use. If you have good, accurate measurements of something, post them here!

Here's some random dimensions I have on hand

3DS slider diameter: 11.5mm
Panasonic 18650 dimensions: 65.3mm tall, 18.5mm diameter
GC controller port dimensions: 16.8mm diameter for each port, each port is 28mm apart from center to center
Wii PCB is 1.35mm thick
Wii AV port is 22.82mm wide, 11.15mm tall
GC+ is 23.75mm x 23.75mm

Panasonic 18650 dimensions: 65.3mm tall, 18.5mm diameter

That's a little big, 18650s are supposed to be 18x65.0mm (which is where they got the name 18650), though I'd believe it if your particular cell wasn't exactly the right size
Also, is the Wii PCB thickness including the CPU/GPU/other part thickness, or is it *just* the PCB itself?

The dimensions I'm using are the maximum sizes mentioned on the datasheet. I believe it's better to measure bigger than smaller to be safe. That thickness is just for the PCB, however I've also measured the height of the CPU/GPU. They are about 2.75mm tall from the top of the board. So total height of the board + CPU/GPU is about 4.1mm.
