A solderless breakout adapter that connects a USB-A female socket to a 5-pin screw terminal block. Simply use a small screwdriver to open the terminal blocks, slide in your stranded or solid-core wire, and tighten — no soldering required.
The removable terminal block is more durable than soldered connections and all five pins are clearly labelled (VCC, D-, D+, GND, and Sleeve), making it easy to create custom USB host connectors, extension cables, or prototype wiring.
Key Features
- No Soldering Required – Screw terminal connections for quick, tool-only wiring
- Labelled Pins – All 5 pins clearly marked: VCC, D-, D+, GND, and Sleeve
- Removable Terminal Block – Detaches from the body for easier wiring
- Compatible Wire Types – Accepts both stranded and solid-core wire
- 5mm Terminal Pitch – Standard spacing for easy access
- Compact Size – 50 × 20 × 11.1mm (2.0" × 0.8" × 0.4")
Ideal For
- Custom USB host connectors and extension cables
- Prototyping and breadboard-friendly USB connections
- Repair and replacement of USB connectors
- Projects where soldering isn't practical
Package Contents
- 1× USB-A female socket to 5-pin terminal block adapter
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout is a small circuit board that makes a tiny or hard-to-solder component easier to connect to with standard pins. It matters because this OLED module can be wired into a microcontroller project without needing to solder directly to the display’s fine contacts.
- Terminal block
- A connector used to join wires together in a neat, removable, or serviceable way. For this product, it helps split one power input into several outputs without soldering.
- USB host
- A USB host is the side of a USB connection that controls attached devices, like a computer talking to a keyboard or flash drive. This matters because most microcontroller boards are normally USB devices, so adding USB host support lets them use common USB peripherals.
