Socketing kit for controllers

This kit of low profile machined sockets is ideal to make your controllers detachable/replaceable.

Avoid the need to de-solder your controller (Pro Micro/Nice!nano/Black Pill or equivalent) to replace it in case of a failure (broken USB port/ESD damage), or simply allow yourself the future option to easily upgrade your controller from a Pro Micro to an nice!nano making your project wireless instead.

  • Sold as either a pair (2x), which is what is needed for a single controller, or as a set for a split keyboard. (4x)
  • Ultra-low profile (only 3.1 mm height over PCB)
  • Machined body/pin
  • Accepts both Mill-Max machined pins and cut off legs from 1N4148 diodes

To use these sockets, it's highly recommended to insert the pins/diode legs in the socket fully and then place and solder the PCB in place, to avoid any alignment issues. Please note that there is a distinct double 'step' when inserting the pin that requires some force to push past.

Manufacturers product number

For those of you wanting to purchase in bulk for yourself, here is the information you need.

  • Socket (64 position) - 315-93-164-41-003000
  • Mill-Max Pin (1 pcs) - 3320-0-00-15-00-00-03-0

Please note that if using Mill-Max pins, they require a much more precise mounting/soldering or they become extremely difficult to insert/remove if misaligned, as they have very little flex at all, and will break off in side the socket rather than bend if forced when misaligned.
