Stuff you wanted to know but were afraid to ask

Is there any reason other than difficulty I wouldn’t want to add legs to my smd j201s to use for breadboard and vero board use?

Turns them into BJTs it turns out, can’t recommend. 79A9EEB2-DA4A-486E-A0DB-79F47F73F254.jpeg The writing on this one seemed a little sloppy so maybe it is fake, I’ll retest with my crisper looking ones to see tomorrow. 5AA2661F-1143-4B21-96E1-1049BB5A3A07.jpeg
 
Is there any reason why I’d want to deviate away from only having E12 resistors?

There are a bunch of odd ball resistors in builds, could I just get away with using the closest from the E12 series? (Or making teepees).

I would just stick with standard values: measure a few and find the closest value to what you need.
 
Why when I’m building something and set something down, a diode, my wire cutters, a piece of wire, the nut and washer for the jack or pot. I somehow always put it down in the worst possible spot and it takes me forever to find it even though I set it down 30 seconds ago, somehow it ends up under my printed schematic, and 3 bags of resistors. And no the answer isn’t I need to keep a tidier workspace.
 
Where tf can I get high quality jacks for the Power I/O module?! I feel like I’ve exhausted the internet looking for 3pin PCB mount jacks that fit the board.

This is my life- keys, hat, drink, daughter, everything.
 
Stupid question and I probably already know the answer. If I don’t want to include a battery snap in a box, is it just as easy as not wiring it up and just using a mono input jack? Im thinking yes, right?

And on BYOC boards, I wouldn’t hook up the wire shown to the power Jack and battery snap, correct?

Thanks.
