We have a tried-and-true microSD card holder (https://www.digikey.com/short/4tmnwh) that we have been using for all our designs, it's a SMT push-pull design that has a lot of source variants, so it's great for everyday usage. We even covered it on a previous Great Search (https://blog.adafruit.com/2021/02/02/the-great-search-micro-sd-card-holder-thegreatsearch-digikey-adafruit-digikey-adafruit/).
But now we have to go back and source again - because for our new Raspberry Pico Cowbell add-on plans, we need a much skinner design that will fit between the SMT headers that will keep the Pico attached and we're about 1mm too wide! No problem, we looked around our parts bin to see what some other products we have use one and liked the one on the Teensy boards, which are also pretty skinny - let's source something equivalent and get it loaded it to our CAD software for usage.
