Adafruit SD to MicroSD Extender

Stop fiddling with SD card sockets in the back of your latest gadget and streeeeeeeeeetch out with an SD Card Extender. This simple yet effective device gives you a long flexible cable, a pseudo-card on one end, and an SD card socket on the other.

Plug in the SD card half and attach the socket wherever you like. This is a great hack for length constraints with 3D printers, single-board computers, data-logging kits, and more. Effortlessly access your SD card while safeguarding against wear and tear.

The sockets are push-push. Insert the card to lock, and press in again to release it. A small pictogram on the socket shows the correct orientation. We tested this with a Replicator 3D printer and a Raspberry Pi Linux computer, experiencing speedy and error-free results.

Note that in high-speed or high-noise environments, performance may vary. Some computers detect SD cards mechanically, so this extender might confuse the host. Best used with systems where you can force a mount/unmount or if the card is only replaced upon reboot.
