Giá đỡ ngang cho module DS3231 (Side Mount)

Hobbyists and makers frequently use a real-time clock module in their designs. One very common board is a DS3231 mounted on a board with a coin-cell holder, EEPROM, and the necessary resistors/power LEDs.  I found myself in a situation where I needed to conserve main board real estate, but mounting the DS3231 vertically (which is really easy to do) would not fit in my enclosure. A horizontal mount still saves quite a bit of board surface area, but is a little difficult to achieve. This part allows the module to be easily and securely glued to my circuit board. The module fits snugly into the mount, but I am adding a dot or two of superglue between the board and the mount for added security.

Printed in PETG, default settings on an MKS4. Designed in SolidWorks Maker. I suggest you print several copies because they can be a little hard to remove from the print surface.

Update 31 May 2026. I found that some modules may fit imperfectly if the manufacturer did not center the coin cell holder exactly. Version 2 has a cutout to accommodate this problem if it is encountered.
