GATERON Upgrade Hot-swap PCB 2.0 Socket Features
GATERON PCB Hot Swap Sockets 2.0 are engineered to improve the reliability and performance of your mechanical keyboard. These upgraded sockets feature elastic connection points for enhanced conductivity, a newly designed snap structure for a more stable and flat surface contact, and added structural strength to prevent wobble. With a lifespan of over 50,000 cycles, these sockets ensure seamless switch replacements, allowing for a customizable, long-lasting keyboard experience.
The typing feel, sound of the keyboard, and the conductivity of the stem are affected by the "hot swap". Since the keyboard doesn't work perfectly with the first version of hot-welding in the keyboard, a technical upgrade is necessary, and then our hot-swap 2.0 is coming.
Our Hot-Swap 2.0 includes the following key upgrades
• 4 elastic contact points for enhanced conductivity reliability
• The newly designed snap structure ensures flat, stable PCB surface contact and excellent deformation resistance.
• Stiffener point to enhance the structural strength, making the plastic parts and terminals closer together, preventing wobble.
• The unique tin position makes the terminal easier to solder and stronger
• The lifetime is upgraded to be more than 50,000 life cycles, so users can replace the switch freely without concern.
• Soldering stability
• Good compatibility
• Reliable conductivity
• Through the asymmetric structure, to improve the accuracy of automation and manual welding
• After the assembly is completed, install the shaft body and led (The pins of some shafts need to be properly inclined to contact the rivets. Please change them according to the actual situation; after installing the switch, test whether the shaft is available and adjust it, and then insert the LED to test whether the LED is available.)
• To change the hot plug to weld the rivets to the switch plate, the electric iron needs to be preheated in advance, and it needs to be placed in the bracket carefully to avoid being burned. It is recommended to use leaded solder wire; the solder joints formed are rounded, and remember to do a good job of ventilation. When soldering, the left hand holds the solder wire to send tin, and the right hand holds the soldering iron close to the rivet.
