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
