I really like the concept of this. Any idea what the difference in tightening torque capability is between this and, for example, a 2-pin pth version might be?

I think less torque capability as a 2-pin pth version. But how much no idea.

But I wouldn't use any small pads with the smd version. But put the pads on a bigger copper plane.

Sorry to tell you this, but within a small percentage there are several products available just like yours.

On the other hand it does confirm the validity of your design.

You do realize he is providing models of commercial off-the-shelf parts? Take a look at the 599 other families of parts he has modeled for you to use.

As Bob says, i made models of existing electronics standard component packages. Such that they can be used in the footprints for components on printed circuit boards.

A smt pad is not advisable for fixture subject to frequent mechanical torque. I'll suggest a TH version.
