Chinese micro-usb connectors on ebay

[csheldon]

Hi all,

I am looking into creating a project that uses micro usb connector onboard.
I want to order my micro-usb from ebay.

These "full smd" (under link1) are not so robust, and durable on pcb as those at link 2 and 3 and I cannot find any datasheets for these specific ones, and as they are all really different among many other manufacturers, my question is did anyone ever had a chance to work with ANY of these, and if it did, can you please reccomend what footprint are you using?

Please help a noob in trouble,

Thank you all!

It is a major problem with components sold on ebay. Sellers do not offer often dasheets or drawings of their components. You can try to design a universal pattern with larger pads and holes or buy components in advance and measure them with a calliper.

Take a look at lcsc.com. They do have a lot of this chinease connectors with photos and datasheets. Perhaps you can find same models like you want to buy on ebay.

I used 1st one, with big side pads, so they can't break easily. Didn't know for 2nd version, I will order it right now. 3rd, I don't like.
