Simple micro/mini/full/PCB/type-C USB adapter boards

USBSocket project

USB Socket board came into existence as alternative to cheap miniUSB adapters which we not good enough for me. These cheap boards do not care about D+/D- traced being equally long which is essential for USB wiring. I had to design my own microUSB adapter board to fit my needs.

Following types of boards are available:

  • Type1 is breadboard friendly microUSB socket
  • Type2 is cable mount friendly microUSB socket
  • Type3 is breadboard friendly miniUSB socket
  • Type4 is cable mount friendly miniUSB socket
  • Type5 is breadboard friendly USB socket
  • Type6 is cable mount friendly USB socket
  • Type7 is breadboard friendly PCB-USB socket
  • Type8 is cable mount friendly PCB-USB socket
  • Type9 is breadboard friendly USB Type-C socket
  • Type10 is cable mount friendly USB Type-C socket
