Review on πŸ”Œ 10PCS 5-Pin Micro USB Type B Male Connector Kit with Plastic Cover – Perfect for DIY Projects (Pack of 10) by Athenasby Whitney

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Useful plugins for my Raspberry Pi projects

These do what they are supposed to. I have a few little quirks. My point is that the solder tabs need to be slightly larger. The plug should grow a little there, but there is enough space in the flap on the lid. Second, there is no pinout. I didn't see the pinout on any of the Micro-B connectors on the Revain so I'll fix that. I destroyed a connector by taking it apart and using a multimeter on it. Look at the back of the Micro-B connector. It has 2 solder points on the top and 3 on the bottom. If you're looking from the back, use the diagram below to see where each pad is connected. RX 4 nopin VCC TX GND Where I've marked 4, this conforms to standard USB pin conventions. Pin 4 on the MicroB should be left unconnected, but I saw that a solder pad was connected to pin 4. Nopin refers to the position of a solder pad that has no solder pad. This will help you define what I call a vertex. I don't know that all these connectors from all manufacturers have the same pinout as what I found. I'm assuming that's the case, but please check before plugging in a large batch of these devices. Much luck.
