NES Cartridge Outline

New measurements are needed.

NES cartridge pin dimensions

On the right is a diagram showing the pin dimensions and their pitch (spacing). Note: the pitch is 2.50 millimeters (0.0984 inches), not the standard 2.54 millimeters (0.100 inches) that is very common today for dual-inline package chips.
