Solderless header for quick prototyping 🔌🔧👩‍🔧

We got a request from some folks for "solder-less pin header" - these snap-apart headers look just like your regular pin headers but they have a little slot in the shorter end that can make a cold-contact with pads on a PCB. only thing is, since they are wedged in, you need some good leverage and it takes a few tries to get the hang of it. but they do work, we checked continuity! for quick prototyping, these could be kinda handy. coming soon to the adafruit shop….

PCB of the day! Requiem for a 5.1K CC resistor 🔌💡🔧

We have a few gadgets around the house that, despite having a USB type C connector, do not abide by the USB C power delivery specification! They leave off or mis-connect the two 5.1K resistors required to tell a USB PD wall adapter that they want 5V 1A power, a common issue because the devices work fine with a USB A to C cable, and only Macbooks seem picky about this stuff: cheap power supplies blast 5V and call it a day. This doo-hickey is a solution. It has two USB sockets nestled back-to-back, and instead of connecting the CC lines through, each half has its own dedicated resistor set. It makes for an excellent symmetrical design. Pair it with a short USB C-C cable to create an inline extender. We considered having one side be a plug, but the SMT-able plug connectors seemed like they needed to be more mechanically stable.
