#Verify your hole sizes.  

#Verify via hole sizes.  

##Based on whatever needs to go in the hole, select a rivet with the proper internal diameter from the table on the [[Through Hole Press]] page.

##Based on the size of what needs to go in the via, select a rivet with the proper internal diameter from the table on the [[Through Hole Press]] page.

##Once you've selected the rivet size take the outer diameter of the rivet and add 0.1mm (per the table's instructions).

##Once you've selected the rivet size, take the outer diameter of the rivet from the table and add 0.1mm.

##Check this outer diameter against the drills in stock for the Voltera, see the image to the right. Round up to the nearest drill size and use that for your hole size in Altium.  

##Check this outer diameter against the available drill sizes for the Voltera (see the image to the right). Round up to the nearest drill size and use that for the hole size in Altium.  

#Verify annular ring size

#Verify annular ring size

##Your annular rings should be at least as large as the head diameter of the rivets you plan to use, otherwise they might not make good contact.

##Your annular rings (via diameter) should be at least as large as the head diameter of the rivets you plan to use, otherwise they might not make good contact.
