No-Solder Spring Headers
Couldn't load pickup availability
Socket your nice!nano and nice!view without soldering!* These spring headers are specially selected for our kits allowing you to install your nice!nano above our batteries with a couple of careful pushes into the through holes on your PCB! The nice!view pack allows you to fit it right above the nice!nano without any soldering as well.
How do they work? The carefully bent pins in the headers create a spring that compresses when you push them into a 0.8-0.9mm hole creating a strong contact. Note that they're rated for 50 installations (within the same hole) due to the delicacy of the spring action.
Packs:
-
nice!nano: (2x) 12pin header, 5mm height, good for one nice!nano
-
nice!view: (1x) 5pin header, 7mm height, good for one nice!view
* These headers only work with through holes with a diameter of 0.8-0.9mm. The nice!nano, nice!view, and all of our kits use this diameter. Some old nice!view PCBs (purchased prior to June 2023) use a larger hole size, please contact us to check.
Customer Reviews
Broke my nice!view with how frequently the screen popped off the headers. The case design blocks the end that needs to be reseated unless you want to take your board completely apart every time, which became multiple times a day. So far, the nice!nano appears unaffected by this issue.
like the name states no soldering necessary, simple install
made the build simple for a non solderer
This was a replacement part. Excellent service.
Makes building a keyboard so much more accessible for people that don't have the time/skill/resources to solder.
