20pcs USB 2.0 Type A Male USB 4 Pin Plug Socket Connector with Black Plastic Cover

easy to use had to make a pigtail

If you need to repair the USB Type A end of a botched USB cable, like I was, then these parts will get the job done nicely.The only issue I had was soldering them, but this is typical when you are working with tiny AWG wires. This is no fault of the product, just the nature of the job and fair warning.The shells fit great, and as others have pointed out they won't stay snapped together very well. The solutions are to use large heat shrink tubing shrunk around the entire shell or just glue them together. I did the former. Easiest thing in the world if you have heat shrink that large floating around.

just what i ordered and arrived sooner the expected

These type A USB connectors are easy to assemble. Keep in mind you'll need a fine point soldering iron to attach the wires. I recommend them to anyone who is able to do thenecessary soldering.

The cable pass through on the strain relief is too small for my application. These might work for 4x28 awg wires in a cable with minimal insulation. They do not work for the 2c/24AWG + 1p/28AWG USB cables that I’m using.

These WEIJ 20pcs USB 2.0 Type A Male USB 4 Pin Plug Socket Connectors with Black Plastic Covers are pretty nice! They are easy to put together and work very well so far! Thanks!

My son is a tinkerer and this is one of his favorite parts to make things with. The metal on these is often stronger than OEM equipment.

I wouldn't use these for any serious projects. You will need to use superglue to hold the shell together. Good for practicing soldering, maybe, but not much else.
