Adapter mount to install RAK Wireless 19003 mini baseboard to enclosure with 5mm grid hole pattern. Also includes adapter for 2000mah flat pack battery and Waveshare solar controller (D version). The onboard solar charging on the RAK boards is functional, but the Waveshare solar controller uses better MPPT, shows battery status at a glance, and overall a nice controller for various random projects. Screws should self tap into PLA (make a rough guess on size but worked for me), and uses M3 round head screws to mount to the enclosure grid so there's correct clearance under the PCBs.

These were specifically designed to fit the 5.9" x 3.9" x 2.8" enclosure found many places. The links and stock levels change a lot, so that's the one you search for. Will also fit other sizes if they have the 5mm grid of mounting holes.
