Teensy 4.1 Fully Loaded For Prototyping System (Low Profile)

Description For the vertically challenged, the Teensy 4.1 Fully Loaded for Prototyping System (Low Profile) is like our standard Fully Loaded for Prototyping System product, but built with very short low profile male headers and shipped with the mating low profile female header sockets and a male Ethernet header for mounting on a baseboard.   It includes the same memory options as our standard Teensy 4.1 Fully Loaded product along with additional changes for it to work properly in PCB baseboards that bring the Teensy 4.1 I/O out from the bottom of the board. If you are looking for a Teensy 4.1 fully loaded with memory that will work with solderless breadboards, head to this link:  https://protosupplies.com/product/teensy-4-1-fully-loaded/ If you are looking for a Teensy 4.1 fully loaded with memory and low profile headers but don’t need the bottom mounted I/O, head over to this link:  https://protosupplies.com/product/teensy-41-fully-loaded-low-profile/ Please Note:  Since this item is hand-modified, we can configure and ship additional assemblies within one or two business days if we have the base Teensy 4.1 and chips in stock.  If you have requirements for a larger number than we show in stock or need further customization such as being built using the Lockable version of Teensy 4.1 or want some headers not installed, email us at [email protected] with your requirements.  Package Includes: Teensy 4.1 configured as outlined below and based on selected memory option. Qty 2 – 1×24 mating low profile female header sockets Qty 2 – 1×5 mating low profile female header sockets (for USB Host and VBAT, PROG and ON/OFF) Qty 1 – 1×2 mating low profile female header socket (for VUSB) Qty 1 – 2×3 2mm male Ethernet header (for mating with female Ethernet header installed on bottom side of Teensy) Handy pinout diagram The following changes are made to the base Teensy 4.1 product: The VUSB/VIN trace is cut An SMD 1A Schottky diode is placed across the VUSB / VIN pads Optional memory is added as outlined below Low profile VUSB 1-pin header is installed A female 2×3 2mm header is mounted at the Ethernet connector location on the bottom side of the Teensy 4.1 Low profile male 5-pin headers are mounted to the bottom side of the Teensy 4.1 to bring down the USB Host, VBat, On/Off and Program buttons. Low profile 24-pin headers are installed By separating the VUSB and VIN power inputs and placing a Schottky diode between them, this allows the Teensy 4.1 to be powered from both the USB cable and VIN input at the same time.  It also allows the Teensy 4.1 to be powered on the bench from the USB cable without being placed into a baseboard which can be handy at times. When using this Teensy 4.1 in a baseboard, it removes the need to try to solder one on which is difficult once the module is built.  A diode still needs to be added to the main VIN input power on the baseboard. Low Profile Specifics: The female header socket is 3.5mm  (0.14″) tall and the contacts have a gold flash. The male header pin are 2.54mm (0.1″) long with a gold flash and have a 2.5mm (0.1″) tall plastic body. When these headers are stacked, the combined height is about 6.1mm (0.24″) compared to 11mm for the standard length header/socket combo.  This saves about 5mm (0.19″ in height as shown in the picture below.  Even with a relatively short contact area, the headers mate with a solid mechanical and electrical connection. Low Profile Header Comparison to Standard Header The total stack-up from the baseboard to the top of the Teensy USB connector which is the highest point on the Teensy is 10.6mm as shown below. Low Profile Header Stack-up with Teensy Note:   The picture shows spring-loaded POGO pins connecting to the USB pads on the bottom of the Teensy so that the USB can be routed to the edge of the board since the Teensy will be inaccessible in this particular application.  In this case, it also allowed the USB connector type to be converted to USB-C.  A good POGO pin height for use with these headers is 7.5mm. Note:  The short male header pins as well as bottom mounted I/O prevents this version of Teensy 4.1 from plugging into a standard solderless breadboard.  These are typically used with a custom PCB or solder type proto board with the matching mating female sockets. The picture below shows a typical baseboard socket arrangement that this version of the Teensy 4.1 will plug into.  The kit that ships with the teensy includes all the female and male headers shown here.  If some of the headers are not used, they can be left off and the pins on the Teensy simply left hanging in air.  Short headers have less forgiveness on pin alignment than longer standard headers.  For installation, you may find it easiest to preinstall the headers onto the Teensy 4.1 first and then solder the entire assembly in place to ensure best alignment. Due to their short plastic bodies, the 24-pin female headers may have a slight bow to them. The plastic housing has a memory, so you cannot just bend them straight before soldering.  For best pin alignment, be sure to press the connector flat during soldering. This is usually easiest if a pin or two on one end is soldered into the board and then the far end of the connector is pressed against the board while soldering a pin or two on that end before soldering the rest of the pins.  Alternatively the female headers can be preinstalled onto the pins on the Teensy to help hold them flat and then soldered in as an assembly.
