The Micro USB Female Socket Panel Mount is a rugged and convenient solution for adding a professional power or data port to your custom enclosures. At Electrapac, we recommend this specific "B-Type" cable assembly for makers who want to move their project's connection point from a delicate internal circuit board to a sturdy external panel.

Product Overview

This assembly features a high-quality Micro USB Female port housed in a molded "ears" bracket for easy screw-mounting. The port is connected to a flexible lead wire, allowing you to position the input anywhere on your device's casing. Whether you are building a custom power bank, a 3D-printed lamp, or a protected housing for an Arduino, this cable ensures your internal connections stay safe from the "wear and tear" of frequent plugging and unplugging.

Key Features for Electrapac Customers

• Panel-Ready Design: The integrated mounting ears allow you to secure the port to plastic, wood, or metal panels using standard M3 screws.

• Full Data & Power Sync: Unlike simple 2-wire "power only" jacks, this 4-wire version supports both high-speed charging and data transfer (USB 2.0).

• Protects Internal Components: By using a panel mount, you prevent the mechanical stress of plugging in a cable from snapping the Micro USB port off your internal development board.

• Flexible Installation: The high-quality copper lead cable allows for easy routing around internal components in tight cases.

• Standard Compatibility: Fits all standard Micro USB "Type B" cables used by older smartphones, power banks, and microcontrollers from www.electrapac.com.

Installation Guide

To give your Electrapac project a factory-finished look:

1. Create a Cutout: Measure the rectangular head of the socket (approx. $15\text{mm} \times 8\text{mm}$) and cut a hole in your project box.

2. Mark Screw Holes: Place the socket in the hole and mark the two side screw positions.

3. Secure the Port: Use M3 screws to tighten the socket against the panel.

4. Connect Internally: Plug the other end of the cable into your internal board (if it has a male end) or strip and solder the wires directly to your circuit.

Primary Applications

• 3D Printed Enclosures: Adding a neat power input port to custom-designed cases.

• DIY Power Banks: Creating a professional charging interface for 18650 battery projects.

• Industrial Control Boxes: Providing an external data access port for internal PLCs or microcontrollers.

• Restoration Projects: Replacing broken power jacks in older electronics with a more durable panel-mounted version.

• Custom Game Controllers: Adding a detachable cable port to DIY arcade sticks or gamepads.
