Holtites don't sit firm in TH pad.
« on: Sun, 23 July 2017, 20:49:08 »
Hi! I have original Holtites here (8134-HC-8P3), that don't sit firm in my 1.5 mm TH pads, how can that be? When I turn the PCB upside down they fall off. The datasheet recommends 1.61mm for the TH pad. :-[

Have you tried solder?

Hi Tiramisu. Nah, as I see from this Video they are pressed in with abit of force
But the guy in the video doesn't tell the diameter of his PCB's TH pads... Maybe I should shrink my TH pads from 1.5mm to 1.4mm to give the Holtites a firmer fit?
