help! PCBs arrived from fabrication but connectors are screwed up!


 

Hi there,

I just received the PCBs from fabrication.. unfortunately I have a
design flaw..

As I used SIL-6 & SIL-14 they have 0.032" drill holes which don't fit
regular 0.1" square pin arrays which would require a 0.04" drill hole.

Are those footprints wrong? Or if not, what kind of connector should I
use with them?

Thank you,

Fabio Varesano


 

With pin headers you need to use modules from the pin_array library.

Regards,

Robert.

The pin-array ones are OK; the ribbon headers (both right angle and vertical) are wrong too, I just made my own copies, fixed the holes, and renamed them.
