Recommend a microSD connector with positioning posts?

Lord Steve

Could anyone recommend a microSD sufface mount connector that has little mounting posts for easy position on the PCB?· I tried the SparkFun style 2 microSD connector and the pins are hard to get at for soldering.· It would be easier if it had mounting assistance.

So, to use what I currently have, is masking tape ESD safe?

Thanks.

What about Parallax's MicroSD adapter? It's not Surface Mount, per se... but a heck of a lot easier to work with.

Thanks for posting that, I did not know they had an adapter.· I can't use the adapter, because I need an actual connector for a PCB for my project.· However, I do like the looks of that one on their breakout board.

Can someone give me a Digi-Key, etc., part number for that microSD adapter?

None of the microSD slots are really hand-solderable (that I know of) - but the holder I've used before is This one. None of them have posts, either.

Good Luck!

Yeah, I couldn't find any with posts.· I found one similar to yours (Nick) at Digi-Key, but this one looks hand solderable, it's only push-pull, though:
