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 board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
- GND
- GND is the ground or reference connection (0 V) for a circuit. When connecting two devices together, their grounds must be joined so both agree on what counts as a low or high signal.
- screw terminal
- A connector that clamps bare wire using a small screw, making it easier to attach and remove wires without soldering. Screw terminals are useful for power wiring or thicker wires that are not suited to small plug-in connectors.
- Terminal block
- A terminal block is a connector that joins wires together in a neat, removable, or serviceable way, usually clamping each wire under a screw or spring instead of soldering. It makes it easier to connect, change, or service wiring without permanent joints.
- 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.
- VCC
- VCC is the positive power-supply connection on a chip or module. Connecting it to the correct supply voltage is needed for the part to power on and helps avoid damaging the electronics.
