| SMD Micro USB Type B port solder-pad footprint to header |
| (1/1) |
| ahfdjpi:
Goal: I want to hard-wire a USB 2.0 cable to an SMD USB 2.0 type B port solder pad in a way that is mechanically robust (similar in mechanical characteristics to a AWG 28 conductor soldered through-hole). I want to do this by using a adapter component that uses the same SMD footprint as a micro USB 2.0 type B port, but that provides header pins (or larger, more robust solder pads or a through-hole platform) to connect to INSTEAD OF a standard type B micro USB port (kind of like a soldered-on breakout board, but just for the micro USB type B port). This adapter would provide more mechanical strength between the SMD solder pads and the cable conductors. Does such an adapter component exist? Are there other, better workarounds? |
