Thanx alot for your time and observations.
I'd like if someone could second it, as I will be mounting some expensive electronics soon and it will be a crisis if I mount everything without that axis of acceleration. Better to just order new PCBs. Well, heck.. Even if it's SMD, it's fairly big (the chip) so I can probably measure when it arrives.. but that's another couple of days down the drain if I need to redo the PCBs..

Teaspoons? Is that Norwegian humor?
I visited Tromsø once. Nice town. Didn't see any trolls, though.
Teaspoons.. yeah, it's an expression here in Norway. If someone requests an overly detailed explanation of something really simple, a common paraphrase is something like "do you need it fed with teaspoon?". Thought there was a similar expression in english but sometimes expressions get lost in translation
Tromsø is a nice town. Far away (1000km+) from where I live, but I served in the army near Tromsø so for a period I was there alot (mostly for beer and girls, and mostly with 10+ other boys looking for the very same thing, haha). Probably the nicest town our country has to offer IMHO
The sky up there is breathtaking in the winter.
To see trolls you have to go further south, deep into the mountains. They thrive best in Dovre and Jotunheimen. But you can still see Lapps near Tromsø. Very much the same thing except they dress cooler 8)
EDIT:
I just found the confirmation I needed. The picture on
https://www.vti.fi/en/products-solutions/products/accelerometers/sca620-accelerometers/ shows the actual SCA620-CF8H1A, AND carries the Z-axis marker shown in the datasheet drawing. I still think the "Measuring direction" (Horizontal/Vertical) property in the datasheet is an oddball.. I wonder what they mean by that..
