NEW Old Stock
Ex our workshop stores, after years in the electronics industry I am done with it all and it is now time to clear out the “bits & pieces” that someone else may find useful.
I have a lot of ‘strange’ bits and pieces but this item can come in very handy, especially if you are into R&D or custom project development.
The long strip in the photograph is how these were originally supplied to us, each very small terminal socket hangs off this strip and you just remove the terminals as required. I am fine with any quantity that is available, just ‘one off’ is no problem at all.
To remove from the strip (if you were thinking of getting a few of these) is simple … using flat long nose pliers, bend where the terminal is attached to the strip and the terminal easily comes away and is ready for insertion into a PCB.
We used these to provide ‘easy to create’ circuit test points on the boards, just drill a tiny hole in the area you wish to test (preferably within a solder pad), insert this thru hole terminal and solder in place … job done!
The terminal is tiny, Nickel plated spring metal, which will readily accept a fine test probe or even just a piece of bare single strand insulated wire.
