They are flat and look like this: https://www.bc-robotics.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/8p-stacking.jpg GB --- End quote --- Ahh - right - excellent - I need to check that drawing again for thickness but that could be a winner EDIT : Ohhhh 0.64 X.4! Awesome - I was reading 0.64 X 4 (as in square) - that seems the best option so far I think. |

Awesome - yes - that's what I need. How flat are they? 0.4mm ish? What drill size will they work with on the PCB? |

Seems like this is the best way forward and I assume they can be obtained quite economically from the likes of LCSC - I'll go shopping :) TK - is that for a PLA replacement? I've got a pile of C64's that I need to finish working through - I've got most up and running from memory. At least one required a PLA - I need a SID for one or two of them from memory. Technically these should fit in a 0.8mm drill hole - datasheet seems to recommend 1.02mm. I dont suppose it really matters - a tighter fit helps keep them straight I suppose, while assembling them. |
