Subject: [Homebrew_PCBs] Via Rivets To Fit 0.8mm Hole

 

  

Hi all, I would like to use some via rivets, thing is, I want to use 
them in a 0.8mm drill hole.

I purchased a few (from a Taobao seller) which were advertised as 0.8mm, 
but they turn out to be closer to 0.9mm outer diameter and are not going 
to fit (I tried, I did get one to jam in, just, but it wasn't easy!), 
I'd really rather stick with 0.8mm holes.

Search hard as I can, high, and low, ebay, taobao, alibaba.... I just 
can not find anything smaller than 0.8mm, apart from... this old thread:
http://tech.dir.groups.yahoo.com/group/Homebrew_PCBs/message/24987
where indeed megauk sells rivets suitable for that drill size. 
Unfortunately, megauk wants to charge me 30 pounds to post them to me, 
30 pounds shipping, for a bag of rivets which probably weigh less than 
10 grams

So, does anybody know of any other sources for rivets which will fit in 
a 0.8mm hole?
