Subject: RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] Metalized holes

From: Nuno-T <nuno-t@...>
Date: 2003-05-11

Hi,

I’ve seen these pins, but they are not hollow. They are good to use in ‘vias
’ (holes without components)
What about the holes that have to hold components later? (the kind of
components that cannot be soldered both sides)
I’ve heard of a kind of pins that are hollow but never seen them anywhere on
sale. Do you know of any good supplier?

Thank you

Nuno T.

What about the snap-off pins that you press into the hole by hand and
then snap off and solder?
