Questions about Part 42446 Minifig Neck Bracket with Stud

7BS

While working on a MOC, I realized that I need to use part 42446, the basic minifig neck bracket, for some connections. I realize that the part has unusual dimensions and is not well-suited for SNOT work, but trust me when I say I have no other options.

My question is this: what is the exact thickness of the flat portions of the piece relative to a plate height? It looks to be about 3/8 of a plate (~1.2mm), but I'm wondering if any of you know the true measurement. Thank you for the help.

Going by https://rebrickable.com/parts/42446/neck-bracket-one-stud/, it's 3 LDU thick. The table on http://www.brickwiki.info/wiki/LDraw_unit would result in it being an eighth of a brick and three eighths of a stud.

So it looks like you're right with the ~1.2mm if the information on Rebrickable and BrickWiki are both correct.

How does that compare to a regular bracket or the offset in a headlight brick?

Great, thank you @vizzitor!
@luckyruss, that means it is 3/4 of a bracket thickness, or 3/20 of the width of a brick.
