About
A drop-in bracket for generic dual microSD to 40-pin ZIF adapter boards used for iPod flash storage upgrades. It holds the board securely using the notches in the midframe and keeps the HDD ribbon cable neatly bent without creasing it.
The bracket fills the gaps beneath and around the board. Cutouts on the underside clear the ICs, so it adds no thickness: the assembled board remains 3.7 mm thick and sits flush with the midframe. The bracket is shaped to clear the threaded midframe holes, leaving room to use longer screws without them contacting or damaging the adapter.
Versions
Flash Card Bracket is intended for standard mods and designed to print a little more easily.
Flash Card Bracket - USBC Passthrough is for my USB-C modded backplates.
Installation
Angle the board so its bottom edge hooks under the two small clips, one at each end. Fold the top edge inward, then press firmly until it clicks past the top clip. The chamfer in the middle helps guide it into place.
Removing the adapter
To access the microSD cards, gently flex the top clip outward while pressing up on the board through the large IC clearance opening underneath.
Fit notes
I sanded and rounded the edges of my adapter boards before modeling the bracket, so I haven’t confirmed the fit with boards that have untouched edges. You may need to smooth the PCB edges slightly. The boards I checked had no traces near the edges, but take care not to sand too far. See the photos for reference.
