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.

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?
