USB Micro-B Board Mount Receptacle - Female SMD

Repairing, maintaining and prototyping our own Electronics is certainly a benefit that is valuable I any Maker’s life, as it helps us to save on unnecessary expenses and get our goodies back into working order without having to rely on anyone else. However, even the most skilled Maker can’t expect to be able to repair a board or module if they don’t have the right tools for the job, and this is why we are constantly searching for handy Components and spares to keep in stock, such as these USB Micro-B Board Mount Receptacles, which are Female SMD components that are ideal for creating quick data + signal interfaces for all kinds of different projects and applications.

While primarily being known as the main connector for mobile devices between the years of 2010 and 2020, Micro USB is a very popular interface, offering effective power delivery and great data transmission capabilities for a very wide range of 5V devices and modules. This includes many of the Electronics Modules that have become increasingly popular over the past few years, as well as for Controller Boards and other motherboard-style modules that need to be able to interface with computers in order to upload code, perform firmware updates and control other operations. So if you’re eager to fix up and repair any out of order Micro USB Modules, or if you’re eager to prototype your own circuit and take advantage of the easy benefits of Micro USB for your project, these receptacles are the ideal little components to help you do exactly that.

Please Note: These units are priced individually but sold in minimum order quantities of five (5), so as to save on shipping costs and reduce the overall price for each unit.

Typical Applications for these USB Micro-B Board Mount Receptacle:

These USB Micro-B SMD Receptacles have become very commonplace in our modern world, and we typically take for granted the awesome benefits that the standard can offer. However, after just looking at how many different types of electronics devices, modules and breakout boards that now utilise Micro USB, it’s easy to see that it’s about more than just mere popularity, and is actually about the high durability, versatile use and impressive affordability that this standard has managed to achieve.
