Does anyone know if the pins on this connector are removeable, I only want to use several of them and having them all there will make them harder to solder.

Cut them off after verifying they don't need to be pulled up or down or anything. Like, don't clip off the ground pin.

Yes, you can pull them out the back. I've done this to make more space for soldering.

Had a hard time soldering the connections on this style - going to try style 2 and see if it's any easier.

Anyone have suggestions on how to secure this connector or one of the other styles to a supporting board? I don't have any means to drill the micro-sized holes that would be needed to accept the 30 pins.
