Digikey is a finely tuned machine. I just got an email from USPS that the Mouser order has been delivered down at the mailbox. Guess it's time for an afternoon walk.
I got some of the Mill-Max 801-43-003-61-001000 in my Digikey order. They seem to be a pretty snug 'press fit' from what I can tell so far. Nifty little devices they have here, they appear to be well made.
My problem is I have 2 DCS-RC receivers, both with soldered pin headers from the first run of the PBWs. I was testing the 'press fit' version on some of the unused holes, a bit awkward. I was a bit reluctant to fully seat it in that position for fear of causing other problems, not being able to remove it after fully seated.
Also, I can't think of a good way to test the 'press fit' to be sure it's making good contact? Only being partially inserted in the holes is another problem with that. All I can think of is finding a generic perf board with identical holes for the test fit. I have some here somewhere, but it seems they had larger holes as I recall.
Any suggestions on how to proceed with testing these to be sure they will work correctly?
