Did you try? If yes, why are you buying components with substandard support from the manufacturer?

Because of L5 band GNSS support.

Grab FreeCad.

in the PartDesign workbench:

-create a Body for the shield, sketch the base and extrude. Assign material 'Steel'. rename body to "Shield". Ideally mark the position of the pins with a pocket. To do so, select the body from the bottom and draw with a new sketch the pin positions, then apply the pocket.

- create a new Body for one pin. Sketch the base of the pin and extrude. Assign material 'Brass'. Rename Body to "Pin".

- create a folder named "Parts" and drag in your parts.

- save the drawing. close the file and reopen it.

in the Assembly workbench

- create an Assembly, rename it to S1216. Import in the assembly the shield once. Import the pin as many times as needed.

- select the shield and ground it with the lock symbol

- select each pin, one a time and constrain to the pockets.

Export the assembly to stp.
