Title: Mystery 12 pin USB/audio connector?
Post by: salil on February 06, 2015, 07:31:17 am

I purchased one of those GSM GPS locator things on eBay a couple years ago and it uses this strange 12 pin connector to charge via usb.  Unfortunately, I lost the cable that came with it but i do have a headset that came with it which has the same connector on it.  What could this be?  It's certainly not micro usb, though it is similar in size (slightly wider).  Looks like 12 pins.  Any ideas?

This looks like old Samsung phone connector: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-APCBS10UBE-Data-Cable/dp/B001I45EGC (http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-APCBS10UBE-Data-Cable/dp/B001I45EGC)

Is it a 12 pin "Mini USB"?
