The application of Flip-Pins is a lot like soldering standard 0.1″ pin headers. The pins ship in neat little plastic retainers and can be tacked onto a PCB with just a little bit of solder.

Now that the Pin 11 Pad on the PCB has been isolated, all you've got to do is solder about a 10cm 22g. piece of hookup wire to that Pin 11 Pad, and then put something like a header pin on the end.

Marking the PCB pin header isn’t so important, as the PCB component overlay can clearly indicate pin 1. Marking the crimp housing is important though. Advertisement. I feel that I have a solution to ...

The trick is simple: on any old development board that uses 0.1″ pitch headers, simply weave some fishing line through the plated through-holes in the PCB. Then, regular jumper wires can be ...
