[sdiy] panel + vertical pcb mount components

[KD KD]

Yes as you mention there are often "dedicated" support components available but
some time one can find substitutes cheaper, whatever, that works

It's like: will i buy a hamburger at Mc Donald's or make one myself at home?
A thought choice for some perhaps...dunno....

Regards.
