sBitx v2 Real Time Clock - pins


 

Just got my sBitx v2, and took courage to open it up. I was going to put in the CR2032 coin battery into the real time clock, per various messages I saw.

To my surprise, it was already installed. Fine.

But now, I have to be sure I've inserted it properly - I didn't observe very carefully which of the five socket holes correspond with the four plug-in pins (GND, VCC, SDA, SCL)

My memory is telling me it goes in the upper four pins of the left row of the socket. Please verify if that's correct before I plug in the power!

Photo attached of the alignment I thought was correct (before fully inserting the pins).

It can go in ether set of sockets

That's not the question. The question is: in the upper 4 or the lower 4 of the 5 pins of the socket?

I have 4 pins in the socket.
The half-cut holes are not contacts, check the pcb.

When the required 4-pin size is cut from a longer socket, the contact at the half-cut holes cannot be used.
Nothing to hold it in place.
So don't worry, there should be four, i.e. 4 contacts, and there are exactly that many here.

OK, now looking closely I can see there are only 4 actual pins in the socket, and what looked like the fifth (under poorer light) has no pin in it. False alarm, people! Thanks for guiding my fuzzy brain.
