Re: Via Rivets To Fit 0.8mm Hole

2013-04-13 by g3oou@...

Hi All
 
I use a slightly larger eyelet - Tucker L762 - to make through hole  
connections that have sufficient clearance in the centre hole for a component  
lead. I use centre punches to expand both ends without flattening them  
completely down onto the PCB surface. This makes a good solder joint to the PCB  
and the component lead.
 
Regards

Bob
