| Post subject: | USB 3.0 connectors to repair sticks |
Hi, I'm looking for USB 3.0 connectors to repair USB sticks. I could find this, but on the photo it seems that the pins are perpendicular to the socket: http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-pcs-9-Pin-USB-3-0-Connector-4-8Gbps-Socket-Female-For-PC-Laptop-Repair-Fix/141788484139 I'm looking for connectors more like this one, but in smaller quantities than 1000 units: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Dongguan-connector-factory-usb-panel-mount_60499350474.html Does someone have some to sell or is also interested in such connectors, so that we could do a wholesale order ? Thanks. |

Have you looked through Farnell's catalogue, searching for USB 3.0 connector? I don't know if DigiKey or Mouser supply to Europe but they would also have something suitable, I expect. |

First of all to a repair USB stick you'll need a [URL=http://www.ebay.com/itm/121724173766]male type[/img] (not a female as shown in the eBay link Second I assume its needed for DR purposes (and not for a permanent use), so what difference does it make ? Take any extension USB wire, cot the male connector, solder, ready to use, job done, who is next ?

Thank you Larry and Jermy, Jermy is right, the link on eBay was wrong as thus of a female USB connector. I could find those ones from a French seller on eBay. He sent the connectors the day they were purchased, so they should arrive soon. http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Connecteur-a-sou ... 1425777981 Also purchased those cheaper ones, but from Hong Kong, which should arrive in 10 days / 2 weeks : http://www.ebay.fr/itm/2set-Solder-USB- ... 0874266990 @Larry: Thank you for mentioning Farnell. They also sold such connectors and offered free shipping when I visited their store, but they only accept credit cards which I don't have. The alternative was registring as a company, but their online form was reserved to public limited companies and not available for self-owned ones. I cannot understand why the don't let people/companies register and prepay the merchandises. Currently, for small to medium quantities, purchasing on eBay is a lot easier, not more expensive (if purchasing those from Hong Kong). Farnell stored the USB connectors in the US and they would have take as long to ship in Europe. @jermy: Yes this is for DR purpose, but the stick seems not much damaged, so I can make usable again it's better than having to buy another key to save the data. In case of an emergency, I would have cut an USB wire. |
