I have a question, and I'm hoping the answer is no. Did someone decide to expand the size of the dimmer KeyPadLinc (2334-232 Rev 7.2) so that it no longer fits in the Tabletop Enclosure (2402)? I've wired quite a few of these, and never had this much trouble. But this last one I purchased does not seem like it's going to fit no matter what...?

You are absolutely correct, it is indeed a 2487S. I must have gotten that other number from a way-earlier edition.
However, I must take issue that it fits without issue. I have even foreshortened and re-stripped the wires. At one point I tried to fit it without the wire nuts, just to see if my eyes were fooling me, because it sure looked like it was too bulky to fit in the enclosure even sans wires. I could not make it fit all the way down to the screw-in stems.

Apparently what has happened is that I simply ordered the wrong thing. I guess I just assumed they were all the same size...and since I never used the dimming function on this one, I wasn't really conscious of the difference.
Sonofabitch. Can't return it, I've modified it. I'll just have to find an in-wall use for it and order the correct one.
Thank you for solving this.
Is there an emoji for "Gawd, do I feel stupid"?
