Who is Phase Dock?
Phase Dock provides electronics mounting, organizing, and prototyping solutions, primarily through their WorkBench system. This system uses bases (workbenches) and connectors (slides) to help engineers, hobbyists, and educators easily assemble, organize, protect, and transport projects. These are often found using components like Raspberry Pi and Arduino, but anything can be mounted. While it is true that the main goal was to reduce frustration and accelerate development, these have the added benefit of providing a great way to display ideas and concepts to others.

Digikey has been using the Phase Dock platform to present some of our own projects at trade shows and the like.What we have found as that it does a great job of all that is claimed above but felt there could be a nice addition to the system.
Work Bench Display Legs
I designed the following product to attach to the 1007 and 1010 versions of the workbench. These are the key considerations I made when doing this.
- They could not interfere with the operation of anything mounted on the workbench.
- They could not interfere with any of the wires that may be running through the four tab points.
- When not in use, they had to simply go away.
After some thought, this is what I was able to come up with.
