NerdQAxe 24-Pin Socket Extension — Unlock Flexible Mounting for Your Quad-Chip Miner
The NerdQAxe 24-Pin Socket Extension is a simple but critical component for miners who need mounting flexibility beyond a standard stand. This 24-pin connector extension gives your NerdQAxe or NerdQAxe+ the extra reach needed for custom enclosures, stacking configurations, rack-mounted setups, and any deployment where the stock board-to-board spacing isn’t enough. Designed for the open-source mining community by D-Central Technologies.
What It Does
The 24-pin socket extension bridges the gap between your NerdQAxe’s main board connector and wherever you need it to go. Whether you’re building a custom multi-miner enclosure, stacking NerdQAxe boards in a vertical rack, or integrating your quad-chip miner into a larger mining setup, this extension provides the physical connectivity to make it happen.
- Extended reach — Adds length between the 24-pin connector and your mounting point
- Custom setups — Enables enclosure builds, stacking rigs, and non-standard mounting
- Clean signal path — Reliable 24-pin pass-through without signal degradation
- Drop-in compatibility — Direct fit for NerdQAxe and NerdQAxe+ boards

Use Cases
Multi-Miner Stacking — Building a vertical stack of NerdQAxe boards? The socket extension provides the spacing needed to stack multiple miners with proper clearance for airflow and heat dissipation between boards. Scale your solo mining hashrate without building a custom PCB.
Custom Enclosures — Designing a custom case or enclosure for your NerdQAxe setup? The extension handles the board-to-board connectivity when your enclosure dimensions don’t match the stock connector spacing. Freedom to build whatever your mining operation demands.
Rack Integration — For miners building dedicated open-source mining shelves or racks, the extension lets you position the NerdQAxe where it needs to be mechanically while maintaining the electrical connection.
Prototyping & Development — Working on custom firmware, testing configurations, or developing new mounting solutions? The socket extension gives you the physical flexibility to iterate on hardware layouts without desoldering connectors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work with both the NerdQAxe and NerdQAxe+?
Yes. The 24-pin socket extension is compatible with both the original NerdQAxe (4x BM1366) and the NerdQAxe+ (4x BM1368). Both boards use the same 24-pin connector interface.
Do I need to solder anything?
No. The socket extension is plug-and-play. Connect one end to the NerdQAxe board and the other end to your target connector. No soldering, no modifications to the board, no tools required.
Will this affect my miner’s performance?
No. The extension provides a clean 24-pin pass-through with no signal degradation. Your NerdQAxe will hash at the same rate with or without the extension — it simply extends the physical reach of the connector.
Can I use this with the NerdQAxe+ Modern Stand?
Yes. The NerdQAxe+ Modern Stand and the 24-Pin Socket Extension are companion accessories. Use the stand for standard desk setups and the socket extension when you need custom mounting flexibility beyond what a stand provides.
How many of these do I need for a multi-miner stack?
One extension per board-to-board connection in your stack. If you’re stacking three NerdQAxe boards, you’ll need two extensions (one between each pair). Plan your stack layout and order accordingly.
Why D-Central
D-Central Technologies supplies parts and accessories for the entire open-source mining ecosystem — not just the popular items, but the small components that make custom builds possible. The 24-Pin Socket Extension exists because our team builds multi-miner setups ourselves and needed exactly this part. If we need it, our customers need it too. That’s how every D-Central accessory gets made: from real mining problems to real solutions, manufactured and shipped from Canada since 2016.
Build your quad-chip setup your way. No compromises. Every hash counts.
