The USB AM to 5-Pin Terminal Block Adapter is the ultimate bridge between standard USB hardware and custom wiring projects. Designed for engineers, hobbyists, and technicians, this adapter eliminates the need for soldering or stripping molded cables. It features a standard USB 2.0 Type A Male connector and a secure 5-pin screw terminal block, providing a reliable interface for both 5V power and high-speed data transmission.
DIY Electronics & Prototyping: Easily connect sensors, microcontrollers, or breadboard projects directly to a PC or power bank using bare wires.
USB Cable Repair: Quickly fix a broken USB head on mice, keyboards, or industrial peripherals without a soldering iron.
Industrial Control Systems: Perfect for interfacing specialized equipment that requires custom pinouts or field-terminable connections.
Power Injection: Ideal for providing 5V power to DIY LED projects or cooling fans from a standard USB port.
Solderless 5-Pin Terminal: Includes terminals for all standard USB 2.0 pins (VCC, D-, D+, GND) plus an additional Shield/Drain pin for superior grounding.
Secure Screw Connection: High-retention green terminal block ensures wires stay firmly in place, even in environments prone to vibration.
Rugged Molded Housing: Built with high-impact PVC and integrated strain relief to protect the connection point from physical wear.
Universal USB 2.0 Compatibility: Supports data transfer rates up to 480Mbps and standard USB power delivery.
"Tool-Free" Maintenance: Install, test, or reconfigure USB connections in minutes using only a small flathead screwdriver.
Signal Integrity: Precision internal traces maintain signal balance for data lines, reducing the risk of packet loss or interference.
Clearly Labeled Pins: The adapter body is clearly marked with pin assignments to ensure fast and accurate wiring.
Connector A: USB 2.0 Type A Male (AM)
Connector B: 5-Pin Screw Terminal Block
Form Factor: Compact, straight-through design.
What is the 5th pin for?
Standard USB has 4 wires. The 5th pin is for the Shield (S), which helps ground the cable housing to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Can I use this for fast charging?
This adapter supports standard USB 2.0 power (up to 2.4A depending on your wire gauge). It does not support proprietary "Fast Charge" protocols that require specialized ICs in the cable.
Is it compatible with USB 3.0 ports?
Yes. It will plug into a USB 3.0 port and function perfectly at USB 2.0 speeds.
