SMD Micro USB Type B port solder-pad footprint to header
« on: August 22, 2018, 10:33:47 pm »
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?

There are micro USB-B connectors available with long-ish through-hole tabs that should be much more physically robust that the more common all-SMT-pad versions.
