I'm now mass producing these connectors

Features:
- biggest current rating (up to 15A constant current and 20A+ at peak currents) (tested)
- compatible wih TCSS/VV/PlecterPixel Blade side pcbs/blades
- better and more stable contacts (more pins, randomized pattern)
- the smallest and low-profile size on the market for more install options
- 5 additional on-board neopixel leds for programmable animations, PLI, charge status, blade plug backlight (some features may be implemented only with particular sound boards)
- "Blade ID" resistor 0603 footprint on a NEW V2 Blade side pcb for "Blade ID" functionality with a Proffieboard sound board
- "BP" (Blade Present) pin on a NEW V2 Hilt side pcb for making a Proffieboard sound board identify when the blade is connected and when is not connected


You can buy them here:
- ShtokCustomWorx (Me, Russia)
- Saberbay Etsy store (USA)
- KR-sabers TheSaberArmory store (UK)

Thank you, I think these connectors can really add even more cool experience with neopixel blades.

Youv'e got a great looking st-up there ShotkyD :cool:
Things like this are a hot topic right now and can eventually lead to the flexibility of swapping between LED and Component blades.
Of course Heat-sinking and other factors are limiting but I'm sure it will evolve just as everything has over the years.

Keep up the good work and cool designs :afro:

Very great!

Saw these on Instagram when you posted. So, so neat! Going to get me some of these. No need for a pixel blade plug when you have this...

Thanks, they will be available from some vendors in USA and Europe, so no problem. Making final tests now and will order final samples very soon.

I don't know how I didn't see this post until now...
Was not a big fan of neopixel blades, but things like this (pogo + led) makes me wanna transition if everything is ironed out
This would be the perfect solution to switch between blade and bladeplug modes

This is awesome! Any chance for a demo video showing installation process, etc.?
