Passive holder DeLOCK 18305

This rubber nipple by Delock is designed to secure M.2 SSDs on a PCB without tools. It is inserted into the mounting hole of an M.2 slot to hold the module in place. The Delock 18305 passive holder has a black finish suitable for indoor mounting and provides a simple, durable solution for fixing drives on circuit boards.

Advantages

The rubber nipple enables tool-free installation and removal of M.2 modules. Its elastic material reduces vibration and provides a stable hold while protecting the PCB and module from direct hard contact. Compact black design makes it unobtrusive in most assemblies.

Suitable for

• Securing M.2 SSD modules on motherboards and expansion boards
• Prototyping and development boards where temporary fixation is needed
• Small form-factor PCs and embedded systems with M.2 slots
