I thought of this, but didn't have the sockets, so I designed it for what I had on-hand. Plus, I don't have the luxury of plated holes, so I need to be able to get to both sides of the board for each pin, and the press-fit pins give me that. I really like those pins for use in breadboards; they're much easier to insert and remove than 22 ga wire (too soft) or standard headers (too big - 25mil vs 18mil). > Then the SMT board could have a right-angle header on it. If the board is 0.062" thick (i.e. normal, not like mine, which are 0.031") then a straight 2x24 male header should slip over the board and solder on just like my pins did. > This would be more expensive that what you are doing, And take up more room. Those headers usually have that big (relatively ;) plastic spacer on them. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
