The USB to microUSB OTG Converter Shim is a tiny adapter that slides inside a full-sized USB-A male connector, converting it into a USB On-The-Go (OTG) compatible microUSB connection. It provides a compact, cable-free way to connect a single USB peripheral directly to a Raspberry Pi Zero or other microUSB OTG host.

Simply push the shim into the USB-A plug of your peripheral device, then plug the resulting microUSB connector into your Pi Zero's USB port — no adaptor cables or hubs required.

Key Features

  • Ultra-Compact – Fits inside a standard USB-A male connector
  • USB OTG Compatible – Converts USB-A male to microUSB for OTG host devices
  • No Cables Needed – Direct plug-in connection with minimal bulk
  • Pi Zero Friendly – Ideal for single-peripheral setups on the Raspberry Pi Zero
Warning: Only plug this shim into a USB-A male plug (the connector on a USB device/cable). Never plug it into a USB-A female receptacle port (such as those on a Raspberry Pi 3 or computer). Ensure the four contacts face inward towards the contacts inside the USB connector when inserting.

Ideal For

  • Connecting USB peripherals to a Raspberry Pi Zero
  • Minimal, cable-free USB OTG setups
  • Portable and embedded projects where space is limited

Package Contents

  • 1× USB to microUSB OTG Converter Shim
