My concern is the misleading specs for the I2C level translator. It isn’t clear from the description that the pin column spacing is non-standard. The comments tipped me off. Then I looked at the hook up guide and they talk about dealing with the design defect without giving the actual dimensions. At the very least, a warning should exist in the high level bullet list saying the vertical pin spacing is 0.1” on center and the horizontal column spacing is 0.65” and not 0.7” on center. I see this has been an issue for a few years now. People with artwork for 0.65” would not be happy if you changed to 0.7”. New customers are not likely happy when they assumed 0.7” and discover the board doesn’t fit. One solution is to add a second set of holes and let the customer decide.
