USB Female Panel Mounts

thingiverse

In the US, we have beloved Dollar Tree stores where everything is just one dollar. They sell E-Circuit USB Car Charger Adapters with Plastic Rhinestones at a price that can't be beat. Check out this link to see for yourself: https://www.dollartree.com/E-Circuit-USB-Car-Charger-Adapters-with-Plastic-Rhinestones/p346704/index.pro To repurpose these chargers, simply unscrew the metal end and a small screw on the faceplate to expose the circuit board. Then, solder a few wires and add it to your project. With just a little creativity, you can turn this charger into something entirely new. The two-piece version requires removing the Female USB connector and soldering directly to the pins. I plan to use one of these in my ATX power supply that supplies 2 Amps of power. To secure the panel of your choice, use four 3mm screws and nuts. On the V2 version, a zip tie is used to keep the wire that exits the back tidy. In a week or so, I'll be adding the double version to my collection.
