FGG.0B Quick Connect 4 Pin Panel Mount Socket - 9mm

If you're into the sleek look and smooth feel of aeronautical-style quick-release connectors, the FGG.0B 4-pin socket is an affordable and stylish alternative to official LEMO-C connectors. While not military-spec, it's a perfect fit for DIY projects, keyboard builds, robotics, and wearables. The connector snaps together effortlessly and can only be disconnected by pulling the sleeve, a one-handed operation with a bit of practice. Keebfans love using these connectors to create their own custom mechanical keyboard USB cables. This is the panel mount socket for a two-part set. You'll need the corresponding plug to complete the kit. If you prefer a chunkier and more budget-friendly wire-to-wire set, check out the YC-8's. Using the panel mount side of this connector set is straightforward: strip the cable, tin the connectors and wires, solder the wires to the connector, heat-shrink the solder points, and reassemble the connector.
