Mircro USB Breakout Panel Mount

thingiverse

I've been searching for a hassle-free way to panel-mount a micro USB socket, perfect for powering tiny items such as USB LED strips and similar gadgets. I was surprised that they're not more widely available. After some digging, I discovered that Micro USB breakout boards are inexpensive and easy to find, so I created this mount for them. The required hole size is 17mm, with a screw spacing of 24mm center-to-center. This design assumes a 3mm wall thickness, as I'm using acrylic sheet. I've included the original files, hoping you can modify them as needed. I know 17mm may be an unusual size, but it was necessary for my project and worked well with my laser cutter. This mount is designed around this specific USB breakout board, which is a local supplier to me, although you can also find it on eBay at https://www.buildcircuit.com.au/5-pin-micro-usb-to-dip-adapter-module-in-sydney-australia/. To assemble the panel mount, use 2x M2x5 bolts for the PCB attachment and 2x M3 bolts to secure it from the front. These should thread into the print easily, but you can also add an M3 nut if needed.
