Salutations,
Which connector would break?
The Serial port itself or the pin connectors?
Remember I said I still use the back screw.
And even if he uses a screw that does perfectly match the threads, I think
that would be fine. He is only going to screw the SER-001 down once, and
then leave it there. And even if he removes it, nothing else uses those
holes, so he should be safe there also.
I asked David Humphreys about leaving the front screw out. He said that
there was a chance the board would work itself loose, not that the connector
would break.
I'm not saying that the connector wouldn't break, he didn't mention it,
and I would think the serial port attachment would give out before the metal
pins would.
