What's a good method for a non-technical person to short the terminals of two 0402 resistors ~1mm apart?
(lemmy.world)
I'm working on a mod kit for a popular item, but my target audience isn't likely to have a soldering iron. The majority of the project connects to an exposed ribbon connector, but I need to short two terminals to force a power supply on.
Any ideas on a method I could provide for people who can't solder? Maybe a strip of copper tape?
Design a plastic housing for the connector that puts pressure on short while the ribbon is plugged in. Put a short in the plastic housing.
Making some assumptions here but…
Good idea, but the ribbon connects to the other side of the connector.
That’s still how I’d do it, just make the plastic bit reach over those other resistors. I’d 3d print the bracket.
