This size does fit, so if it works I don't need to compress it. And the
'field service' guys can at the very most be trusted to find the correct
screwdriver and open the box, I would not let them read binary, BCD, or
anything else. 

Using a 7-segment might (for the above reason) be even better, but it is
slightly more work to apply the solder. But I think I will give that a
try next time.
