Description
Overview
An adapter board with a USB 3.0 Type-A connector on one side and a 9-pin header on the other. It breaks the port out to 2.54 mm pins for soldering or breadboard use.
Specifications
- Interface: USB 3.0 Type-A
- Breakout: 9-pin DIP header, 2.54 mm pitch
- Gender: male and female builds
- Pin styles: straight or elbow on the male builds
- Variants: USB 3.0 Male, USB 3.0 Female, Male Straight, Male Elbow
Purpose
USB 3.0 leads are crimped rather than solderable, so a damaged port is awkward to rebuild. Nine conductors on 2.54 mm pins suit through-hole header and prototype board.
Applications
- Printer internal USB runs
- Laptop and desktop port repair
- Enclosure panel sockets
- USB 3.0 prototypes and test jigs
- Short custom cable assemblies
How to Use
- Pick male to plug into a host port, female to accept a cable.
- Use straight pins for a board edge, elbow pins where height is tight.
- Keep the SuperSpeed pairs short and evenly routed.
- Buzz every pin to its USB contact before powering up.
- Caution: USB 3.0 carries 5V beside the data pairs, so a reversed header can put 5V onto a signal line.
