PCB for OLED
excuse the crappy (not to scale) paint diagram
The idea of having surface mount solder points for angled headers to the right of diagram are:
1. prevent shorting out from the Ophir head via the header pins
2. stronger mounting than having pins go straight through the end holes.
(managed to lift a copper strip on my prototype when pin trimming)
3. No solder mounds on the under side due to protruding pins
Otherwise it could be made to look like this..
If the PCB was made 38mm wide the same as the other PCBs & Ophir it would look neat.
Any thoughts?
