USB 5V Step-up Converter Mount

I like these tiny Chinese step-up converters; down to 0.8Volts, they produce 5Volts USB. You can use them to get the rest of the power from a 1.5V battery or get stable 5V from a solar cell. But there is no way to build it in a case; they don't even have holes for screws. So I made this little appliance. It consists of two parts the main body where only the USB connecter is seated and a top board to adjust the position and tighten the connector. On the case, one just needs to cut out a rectangle in the size of the mount and drill holes for the screws. There are two versions, one for mounting it on a case and one for mounting it on the bottom side, e.g., on a breadboard.
