(I can't seem to get it to let me go directly to the item, they may be out of stock).<br><br>If twas me I'd get a couple of these and build a jig. Inexpensive autoranging LCR meter clipped to the contacts, mounted on some small chunk of wood, and I think you'd be set.<br><br>Unfortunately searching "knife blade contacts" almost universally gets nothing but knife switches, rather than more of the contacts.<br><br>Pete<br><br><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Sep 9, 2020 at 5:53 PM KA4HJH <<a href="mailto:ka4hjh@gmail.com">ka4hjh@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><br><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Sep 9, 2020, at 6:33 PM, Ben Stuyts <<a href="mailto:ben@stuyts.nl" target="_blank">ben@stuyts.nl</a>> wrote:</div><br><div><div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">Hi Terry,<div><br></div><div>Through-hole I assume? </div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Natch. I never learned the 1% color code back when I could just glance at a 1/4W resistor and now I'm buying kits full of tiny 1% resistors that I can't see anyway. The ohmmeter approach is best for me because I have to constantly move my glasses or even switch between two pairs just to handle the PC board, solder, read the next instruction, etc. If I had a laptop it would help with some of this but I don't.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div>Some of the LCR meters have really handy fixtures / clips / tweezers, perhaps they are available separately.</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div>I'd love to have a little cradle that I could just drop them into one at a time.
