C for capacitance. R for resistance. CR for capacitive reactance circuit.

Alternating current can pass through the capacitor. When the capacitor is connected to the AC circuit, the charge on the capacitor plate has a hindering effect on the directional moving charge, which is called the capacitive reactance.

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.
