Machine Pin Large Standard

Adom press-fit machine pin (Large / Standard) for the Adom modular electronics system. A machine pin (MP) presses into a plated through-hole and mates with a machine contact (MC) on a stacked board (32mm scaffold grid). This page carries the corrected KiCad + Fusion 360 .lbr library and an interactive 3D insertion view.

Mounting: press-fit (Mill-Max style)

The Ø3.6mm pin body presses into a Ø3.45mm plated hole -> 0.15mm diametral interference (solderless press-fit; solder-assisted with the 300um jet paste on the annular ring). The hole is intentionally undersized; this is correct, not a clearance fit.
