This panel mount cable is great for making USB Host or (some) client connections with a panel-mount setup. On the small panel-mount side you get a USB C connector, the other end has power, ground and D+ / D- lines. We particularly like that the panel mount part is very small, only about half an inch diameter, and you get a JST PH cable on the other end for quick integration.
Please Note: Like many USB C cable adapters we've found, the CC lines are not tied to anything and so this will not respond properly to USB PD requests. That means its not great as something you plug a host into, particularly if its a Mac since those are picky about requiring CC lines. It's much better if you're plugging a USB client into it, where the JST side goes to a microcontroller or computer that provides power and data.
The adapter can fit holes 11mm to ~13.5mm, so you can drill in your wood, plastic, or metal with a common hole-saw or bit, no special shapes or filing required. Un-screw the plastic nut, insert the plug and re-attach. Ta-da! Now you have a USB C jack and USB C plug for connecting any cable.
It's designed to easily attach to a panel up to 7mm thick (or 0.275"), or as thin as a few mm. Perfect for adding a USB C port to your project enclosure! It also comes with a removable cap that to help protect the USB-C port from dirt or grime. We like this plug in particular for its solid body and 'forgiving' plastic lip that hides the drill hole.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- JST PH
- A small keyed plug-and-socket connector with 2 mm pin spacing, often used for low-power electronics connections. You need the correct JST PH cable, and its current rating limits how much power should be passed through it.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
- 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.
- USB-C
- A modern reversible USB connector used for power and data connections. On this product it matters because it can connect directly to a computer as well as to a microcontroller project.
