How can I mount a pulse oximeter on the surface of PCB without putting too much stress?

The PCB has a pulse oximeter mounted on the surface, and it's tolerance is 0.6mm. The problem is the pulse oximeter needs to touch the bottom case at all times. How to best mount the PCB in the case without putting too much stress on the pulse oximeter? Will screws with flexible washers be all right? Sadly separating pulse oximeter from main PCB is not an option.

Put a machined guard around the pulse oximeter to keep the surface from it at about 0.2-0.3 (if it is and SMD part soldering height tolerance is about 0.2mm) and then simply screw down the resulting assembly.

Otherwise use weak springs to push the p.o. against the case, need to know the allowed stress on the body for that.

Are SMT components bad for high voltage applications?

Many assembly factories are asking for SMT jobs, while I think through hole would be a better option for a high voltage application. Before the high voltage project is started, we need to make a call on SMT or Through hole parts. Is there a study on this?

Waarom zijn er wervelingen of zigzaglijnen op de PCB-monsters??

I send my PCB design to manufacturer for prototype, but they send back deviated PCB samples with additional zig-zag. Why are there zig-zag lines on it? Reducing interference?
