This useful tip describes how to create a template and component for a socket by measuring essential dimensions. It emphasizes efficiency and the significance of acquiring precise measurements from the real part in order to achieve accurate findings.KevinA wrote: 22 Oct 2021, 00:32 If you buy the socket you can measure two pins across from each other, that is the diameter, measure a pin width and thickness where it will rest on the PCB, with those three measurements the pattern and component can be built.You could just use a round pad with a hole the width of a pin but I'd use an obround pad. In the time you've spent posting about this you could have created the pattern and component but you need the actual part to get the measurements.
