Metal clip on Adafruit i2s bonnet

Just received one of these and it has a metal clip covering 4 of the pins. Nothing is mentioned in the pdf. I want to remove it but maybe it’s there to stop one from connecting pins to it.

Does anyone know what this is for?

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,

The clip is used in the pick and place step of making the bonnet.
The flat top surface allows a suction head to lift the header before it’s soldered down.

It’s all good to remove!
