I'm currently designing some development boards that are quite large, around 100x180mm, with lots of through-hole components. The goal is to create an educational tool for students. Because of this, I want to isolate the bottom of the board where the component legs stick through.
I had the idea of using foam, attaching it to the bottom of the PCB so that it can sit flat on a desk and add a bit of grip.
Is this a safe and practical idea? If so, what type of foam would be best to use?
