myminifactory

This is a socket for a IVLM1-1/7 russian 7 dot display. The socket uses the 2.54 female round socket pin also known as "machine pin headers".  IVLM1-1/7 metal contacts must be cut at 10-12mm depending on how deep the female socket is, and soldered internally. Before cutting them, identify the short lead and soldered oriented it to the 3d printed tab, so when you socket it you know the direction.  The socket parts are pressure fit. The pins can be soldered to a PCB or socketed on top of the same 2.54 female round socket pins.  Be sure that the legs are not shorted inside the socket, be gentle with the tube, the glass can break easily. The center hole at the bottom can accomodate leds up to 3.5 mm diameter.
