What is this Socket ?
« on: April 18, 2017, 04:00:26 am »
It's a USB 3.0 micro variant socket but have no idea what it is. Two pins are longer than others free from plastic shielding. I need to order some of them and female version of these.

What is this socket ?

It's a plug, it's not 3.0, and at first glance it looks normal.. Photo's too out of focus to see the pins.

Here is a better version. It might be a plug but the end cable goes to a USB 3.0 port.

Might be a standard USB Mini A plug. Else it has to be proprietory.

What do you mean by that? Type A plug has the same dimensions for both USB 2.0 and 3.0 and are compatible, 3.0 plug/socket has a few additional pins.
How many pins connector on the photo do have?

So its proprietary - too many pins and too wide for its thickness to be USB Micro-B.

What device does it normally plug into?

None of which we can see.

It's definitely not a standard micro, it's also most likely not USB 3.

It's not a standard part, you'll likely not be able to just order it. Look up whatever it came from.

It looks similar to the one on my Sony camera - I know that is not a standard USB
