When you have passed the 90% timeline in your career and "then" you find out about a trick that could have saved you hours of work and struggle.....
High-density rack pins can be an absolute pain to install. Fighting wire bundles, tie-wraps, and small spaces to get your hands into.
Tweasers, needle-nose plyers, and plastic insertion tools as your weapons.
Is there an easier way?
Yep.
20 gauge wire..... strip, but don't remove insulation.
Shove through the rack socket from the front side and pull out the back.
Insert your pin in the insulation.
Pull from the front side..... the new pin locks into the plug and your wire pulls off the end!!!
Damn..... something so simple and I just find out now.
