| Best way to put DIL pins on a small PCB to create replacement for old parts. |

In fact, I think I already know the best way, this guy has a solution. Take a look at his example PCB if my question isn't making perfect sense: http://www.ebay.com/itm/50x-Batten-and-Allen-BA3760-Dil-Leadframe-DIP-PCB-Edge-Clip-Pins-BASIC-Stamp-/262614484533 My only complaint is that at 12 cents per pin it gets expensive fast. Is there another product like this that possibly is a bit less expensive? Or an even better solution? This one seems perfect because it is SMT. You can go with through-holes but then you are effectively using twice the board space. I like this solution, just not the price. |

Funny coincidence, I am looking at something similar for a C64 restoration. I also want the smallest PCB outline, I was going to use Mill Max SMT .100 headers but they are also very expensive. But they do leave the top free. Mill Max header #350. Check the Digikey price for a laugh. I am just building something one-off so it doesn't really matter. |

I looked at cheaper headers at first like this: You can get this very cheap on eBay. But they take up more board space than you would expect and while they seat fine into normal PCB holes and solderless breadboards, they don't fit so well into standard DIL sockets, they seem to really stretch them out, so those are out. --- Quote from: Codemonkey on December 24, 2016, 04:32:46 pm ---This was on hackaday recently... http://oshchip.org/products/Flip-Pins_Product.html --- End quote --- Those OSH-Chip pin headers are nice. Also a bit expensive. Nine cents per pin, plus delivery, probably the same price as the ones I linked after delivery. They are also through-hole so as far as I can see it eats up more board space. Maybe it is more rugged. Probably easier to get aligned right every time, but I don't know that yet. Thanks for that link too. |
