This adapter converts a USB-A male plug into a 5-pin screw terminal block, making it easy to connect bare wires to a USB port without soldering. Just loosen the terminal screws, insert your stranded or solid-core wire, and tighten. All five pins are clearly labelled (VCC, D−, D+, GND, and Shield/Sleeve).
The terminal block is removable from the USB connector body, and the screw connections are more durable than soldered joints for prototyping and custom cable builds.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- 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.
- Shield
- An add-on board that plugs into a main controller board to give it extra features such as sensing, motor control or communication. Knowing a product supports shields helps you judge whether it can connect neatly into an existing maker-board setup.
- 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.
- 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.
