Smallest micro USB charge port

Post by RetroRocket » Thu Jun 01, 2017 4:01 pm

Quick post here. I see many members using the sparkfun breakout micro usb for charging, which necessitates some modification of both the port's board and the mounting boss. Although I bought one as well (accidentally got the mini USB), I also got some of these because they were so cheap.
They work perfectly and the board is no wider than the port itself, making it incredibly tidy in the case. For my next build I've already installed a salvaged DS Lite charging port for the lulz and because it fills the original gap a bit nicer, but these itty bitty ports are great!

Hope y'all find this useful.

Cheers!
