Greetings, colleagues.
I started making sockets for three readers. So far, there are only 3*7. I am working on mSD 6*4 and SD 2*13.
On PC-3000 work over Multiboard.
If someone is interested, the price is 85 USD. Delivery by regular mail ~10USD.

I have tried this product on PC-3000 Flash and FE and can confirm it works great.

I've tried to get hold of these twice via Apexlabs and wasn't able to, Not sure if they're actually still available.

Thanks Mike. I am actually only after some of the pogo pins used in the socket. One of mine has locked up and needs replacing. There are literally 1000's of pogo pins and its hard to track down the right size anf type. I was hoping Alex could give me the specs.

I used some P50-B1 20g in a similar project recently, the pressure on the tip was the main concern. The selection narrows dramatically the finer you go on the scale do you have a picture of them - specifically the tip type, can you measure what's already there with callipers or are they in accessible?

I can't find anything at the usual suspects either - the 0.5mm OD on the barrel appears to be the main problem. I can find similar at some niche places but they all have a different metric off. If you can't get anything you could drill out the VCC & VDD to use a more common size and swap those pins into the control/data lines.

Following this thread with the same need — hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I'm looking for a way to read monolithic microSD cards (pads exposed, housing already removed) either through socket adapters that work with Flash Extractor (Soft-Center), or some way of connecting them through a standard SD card reader/adapter directly.

I know there isn't just one pinout — from what I've read there are ten or more different pad layouts across the different manufacturers (SanDisk, Kingston, Samsung, Toshiba, etc), so realistically I'll need more than a single adapter over time, not just one specific model.

Alex's original 3x7/6x4 sockets sound like exactly what I need, but his old eBay links are dead and I haven't had a reply yet through Instagram. Has anyone found a current, reliable way to get a set of these (or something equivalent covering multiple pinouts), or a different approach entirely that gets the same result?

Appreciate any advice.

There are no standards - but there are adapters available for the common layouts

Not cheap though and if you're not doing the volume and it's just an odd case then either solder them yourself or look into creating your own adapters. Solder-able PCB adapters and pogos are available from AE. I did a similar project a few years back thinking I really needed an adapter and it would save me hours - I've used it once since then I think as caseload has changed significantly.
