It's been a while, but when I did a board from perf with exposed leads, I think it worked easily with plenty of room when fit from the back of the board instead of in front. It was probably smaller though--forgot how much space is available.

I think it wouldn't take much effort on the part of the one installing it to prevent this from happening. and certainly less effort that installing each component one by one as I did in the original blog post. but none the less...
I am considering putting a silicone conformal coating on the boards to prevent this from happening.
it would basically seal the components into the module. The coating can be removed of course, but it would act as a barrier.
thoughts?
