Watch out for incompatible pin-headers!

[krumelur]

Hello peeps! Im working on a midibox64. I made all the pcbs and everything, ordered all the parts and went to work. It turned out however that the pin-headers I got were slightly smaller than needed, resulting in a mismatch with the holes in the board. Quite a bummer!

I ordered them from Elfa, which is the biggest retail store in Sweden for electronic components.

Here are the product codes for the mismatched pin-headers:

"Stiftlist 2,0mm rak 1*40p".............43-701-02

"Stiflist 2,0mm rak 2*40p"..............43-701-10

"Hylslist 2,0mm rak 1*40p.............43-701-51

"Hylslist 2,0mm rak 2*40p.............43-701-77

I suppose this has to do with metric vs...er... that other system.

So, any swedish people beware!

All other parts worked fine though.

We're on a 2.54mm (standard) grid here with the layouts on ucapps so them would be the size headers u want...2.00mm is indeed to small ;)
