Flip circuit board on BMV 712 shunt | swap b- and load terminal


Hello,
Due to design constraints I have limited space to mount my BMV 712 Smart Shunt. It would be optimal if i could switch the B- Terminal and the Load-Terminal. Sine the circuit board just screws into the brass terminals and is symetrical, it could be flipped 180° and therefore swap B- and Load.

Is this possible? Can i just flip the circuit board?

I can think of no reason why that won’t work. The shunt itself is dumb. The electronics are all on the board. The directional attributes of the SmartShunt are determined solely by which way the current enters or leaves the pcb.
