FGG.0B Quick Connect 5 Pin Panel Mount Socket - 9mm

If you're after the look and feel of aeronautical-style quick-release connectors, the FGG.0B 5-pin socket is a great, affordable alternative to official LEMO-C connectors. While not mil-spec, it's perfect for DIY projects like keyboard builds, robotics, and wearables. It snaps together smoothly and can be disconnected with one hand by pulling the sleeve. Keebfans love using these for custom mechanical keyboard USB cables. This is the panel mount socket of a two - part set. You'll need the plug part to complete the kit. If you prefer a chunkier and cheaper wire - to - wire set, check out the YC - 8's. Using the panel mount side is easy: strip the cable, tin the connectors and wires, solder the wires, heat - shrink the solder points, and reassemble.

Using this FGG.0B 5 - pin panel mount socket is straightforward. First, strip the cable you're going to use. Then, tin both the connectors on the socket and the exposed wires. Next, solder the wires to the connectors carefully. After that, use heat - shrink tubing on the solder points to protect them. Finally, reassemble the connector. Remember, this is just one part of a two - part set, so you'll need to get the plug part to make a complete kit. It's not a mil - spec connector, so don't use it in extremely high - end or military applications. For maintenance, keep it clean and dry. If it gets dirty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it down. With a bit of practice, you can disconnect the connector with one hand by pulling the sleeve, which is very convenient for DIY projects.
