While building my Netdimm setup I thought about ways to make it easier to tap CN12 for people. On looking at my first attemps @djsheep suggested USB-C for both it small size as well as to ensure no one plugged their Naomi or I/O to it. He also suggested that a second 5v out maybe useful to people running a USB-C powered I/O or other bits.

Here are the results.

I am currently waiting on more USB-C sockets but in the meantime does anyone know of, and have a part number for, deeper 2.54mm female headers (as standard size ones leave a bit of pin exposed on CN12.

You need the female end of JST NH to connect to CN12.

These folks in AU appear to stock them: https://www.candycabclub.com/product/jst_nh

You can probably shop around for cheaper sources (and even knockoff ones; I use the knockoffs from China and they are perfectly fine).

Yes; i have tons of them, but it needs to be PCB mounted and as far as I can tell JST don't make a PCB mounted female NH connector.

Yes, you'll likely have to make a cable to connect your PCB.

I personally just make a JST NH to Micro USB cable specifically for powering Raspberry Pis. You may be better off attaching your PCB with a similar cable, but I expect having a cable defeats what you're trying to do, unfortunately.

Dude the idea of the PCB is so you don't need to hack up a cable.

Yes I have done this like 1000 times, I get the deal.

Everything works fine with the PCB, it grips it holds, it powers, nothing has had its purpose defeated. The standard headers I have used leave like 1mm of pin showing. This is not a functional issue just a cosmetic one. What I was asking is if anyone knew of a deeper pin header to fix this cosmetic issue, but thanks for your input.

Ah apologies - I misunderstood what you were trying to get. It's unlikely there's connectors out there that solve your issue unfortunately.

Wishing you the best with your project!
