After Mill-max sockets are soldered onto a PCB, MX style mechanical keyboard switches can be quickly exchanged without continually soldering and desoldering switches. Solder once, Hotswap forever. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mill-max 3305 socket length is shorter than the distance of the MX switch leg that sticks out on an underside of a PCB, so you do not need to worry about collision between the socket and inside of your keyboard case.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer part number number of the Mill-Max sockets is:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3305-0-15-80-47-27-10-0\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePolyimide Tape:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend purchasing a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.modedesigns.mom\/collections\/components-accessories\/products\/polyimide-tape-roll\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eroll of heat-resistant polyimide tape\u003c\/a\u003e to use while millmaxing your PCB. We offer a 0.5\" wide (12.7mm wide) spool here. After dropping a row of millmax sockets into your PCB, apply a strip of polyimide tape across the row on top of the sockets to hold them in place. Flip the PCB over and solder the millmax sockets in place, then peel off the polyimde tape off before installing your switches. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mode Designs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40349688692818,"sku":"millmax-3305-50","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0279\/3426\/1330\/products\/DSC00940.jpg?v=1677082285","url":"https:\/\/modedesigns.mom\/products\/mill-max-3305-sockets","provider":"Mode Designs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
