I designed PCB boards to take a minimum of square mm in area using through hole components. Specifically TO-22 2N7000s and 1/4 W resistors.
I don’t need 1/4W, just had them on hand. I’ve since obtained 1/8 W resistors. They don’t quite fit horizontally but I’d like to use the existing PCBs.
I’ve sketched out how I see forming the 1/8 W leads. There is sufficient horizontal room to fit them as in my sketch (on the back of my restaurant receipt) below. A is the 1/4 W placement; B is what I’m thinking.
Any issues? I don’t think so… but what do I know?
