Re: torque spec?

Wow. Whoever managed that just earned themself a nickname or two. Around the office we use the last name of a particular individual as a unit of torque. A "half-_____" is equal to the amount of torque necessary to irreversibly bind a bolt. A "full-____" is equal to the amount of torque necessary to destroy a bolt.

I am reasonably certain that you will not be able to return this PD, your best bet is to buy a new one from AndyMark.biz

The spec I have is "Torque 0.6N per Pin" (25 pins). Since I'd expect torque to be in Newton meters, I will check with the manufacturer for the actual spec.
