common pad spacing for switch/power
« on: May 22, 2023, 06:47:15 AM »
I'm assuming, but want confirmation, that the pad spacing for the footswitch and power io is typically 2.54 for madbean and pedalpcb and most other pcb retailers.
Can anyone confirm or deny? Any outliers?
Looking at refining my testing rig but want to be sure before I order.
Thanks

When I'm mucking about in the MB parts library in Eagle it looks like pad spacing is 100 mils (2.54mm) for the TS barrel jack and the I/O supply pin, kind of standard pin-header spacing, judging by my by-hand fitment on a board I've got on the bench.

For mbp, always 2.54mm!
