2.54mm header blocking pins???

[UV101]

Hi all,

does anyone know what they call the plastci pins you can use to block 2.54mm header??

I have a cut pin on the unit that plugs into a board I'm making whihc is designed to ensure you cant plug the unit in the wrong way round. I'm sure I've see little pegs that you push into the relevant hole in the leader but I cant see anything anywhere lol.

TIA

Ian

Worst case buy some proper diameter (1mm? 1.25mm?) nylon fishing tackle, the size which jams strong inside the hole you want to plug, jam it there and cut excedent.

Go with your connector in hand to nearest hardware store or fishing shop.

4 bucks buy 100 meters 😱

SOmetimes I just lean the side of my solder iron on that hole and smear a bit of melted plastic over the hole.
