Subject: Re: Via Rivets To Fit 0.8mm Hole

From: g3oou@...

Hi All

I use a slightly larger eyelet - Tucker L762 - to make through hole
connections that have sufficient clearance in the centre hole for a component
lead. I use centre punches to expand both ends without flattening them
completely down onto the PCB surface. This makes a good solder joint to the PCB
and the component lead.

Regards

Bob
