Holtite sockets are small sockets that fit inside existing solder-holes in a PCB.

However, the sockets don't fit all PCBs (or even the all switch positions on some PCBs). On some PCBs the holes are too tight, and on other they are too wide. See the [[Holtite|main article]] for a list of compatible PCBs.

The sockets are also not as durable as Kailh-sockets (and clones).

Available in a size for Cherry MX switches and in a size for 2-pin 3mm LEDs. Can be gold-plated or tinned.

===Mill-Max 0305===
Single sockets for mounting in PCB holes for Cherry MX switiches.

Similar to Holtite sockets but with a flanged top that prevents them from falling out when mounting but which raises the switch 0.64 mm over the PCB.

===Mill-Max 7305===
Like Mill-Max 0305 but the flange is thinner, which raises the switch slightly less.
