Note: The small blue PCB in the pictures is just there to illustrate what everything looks like fully assembled. The socket adapter is the main item.
Although the HC-XX and HM-XX type Bluetooth modules of Chinese provenance have been widely available and highly popular for years, there are no solderless socket adapters commercially available so you can just slap them onto a breadboard for a prototype or DIY project.
I made a couple of these because I got tired of fiddling around with tiny wires or soldering the module to a breakout board without the possibility of removing it safely if I need to. If you are looking for a way to securely add and remove one of those 27x13 mm Bluetooth modules to a prototyping circuit, you might find this useful. They’re 20€ per kit + 5€ for shipping, if anyone is interested.
The socket adapter basically consists of a PCB and spring contacts in lieu of solder pads and a laser-molded, screw-on acrylic bracket to press the module’s contact pads onto the spring contacts. There is a total of 34 spring contacts which are split up into two rows of 17 pins each, pitch 2.54mm (standard breadboard pitch).
This is more of an interest check than a product offer really. I will add more information as questions and suggestions start pouring in.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or suggestions.
