It is way too easy to get sucked in.
In this case of watching gear teeth go by, divide the tooth space, which for this particular gear is pi*0.1, by 4, and use any ODD multiplier to get the spacing. So that base quadrature then=0.078539816339744831" Multiply by any odd integer to get a usable spacing. The center to center distance is obtained by the above math to rediculous accuracy. But the unknown is the width of the package, as that is not stated in the datasheets mechanical drawings. Which I find strange looking at footnote B which states that there is a grounded piece of the leadframe essentially flush with the side of the device, available on both sides. That folks, would be a quite precisely stamped out part, the width of which IS known to around .01mm and would determine the maximum width of the button. So why is that measurement left to us to make with our calipers?

I aslo walked across that river, where it exits Lake Itaska. It was about 8 feet wide and 4" deep. Just deep enough to soak my socks, and colder than a bucket of ice cubes yet in mid June. I think I was about 6 yo at the time. > If you didn't fail occasionally you wouldn't appreciate success so > much.
