SD Card Socket (Full-Size) for Hobby Electronics

thingiverse

This is a straightforward friction-fit SD card socket that uses extended female pin headers to separate the SD pins for your electronics project. Note that only seven pins are broken out, which corresponds to the 1-bit SPI protocol, not the 4-bit SD protocol. As a result, only seven pins are required. You will need: 1) The two printed parts 2) A 7-pin female pin header with long springy leads (0.100 inch) Instructions: 1) Print the two components. 2) Insert your female pin header into the center row of holes from the bottom (See photos). 3) Bend the leads toward the back edge and shape them to create a springy contact (See photos). 4) Ignore the second row of holes nearest the edge; I was experimenting with using copper wire for contacts but it didn't work. 5) You can either bend the header flat under the socket and glue it in place, or leave it vertical and insert some male-male pin headers to make it breadboard-friendly (See photos). 6) Slide the top cap onto the bottom part. It should fit snugly, and your SD card should slide in snugly too. Held in place with friction.
