What is the difference between the :
PTH08080WAZ
PTH08080WAS
PTH08080WAH
Can I use any of them in my N64 portable with the Harshboy/Skyone schematic? Why or why not?

I believe it's only the direction the pins are orientated.
They all work.

Thanks jjhammerstein.
But how do i determine the pin layout? Specifically the WAH compared to the WAZ as I have the skyone WAZ schematic.

Because some pins are longer than others.
No joke.

The pins are different with the different letters because they are supposed to mount onto circuit boards differently - horizontally, vertically, etc. to answer the question a little better.

also there's a difference if it's lead free or not.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

Ok, so would WAH work instead of the WAZ?
How do i know if it is lead free? Does that matter?
