Help me find a rare USB part

October 10, 2012 1:14 PM

Where can I find this seemingly non-existent USB receptacle?

I'm trying to fix a board. The USB port is broken (now broken off). It's a vertical mount, but it's not using the standard two side 'grippers' for mounting; it has some weird arrangement (pictured here) instead.

I've searched Google and parts web sites, using every combination of search terms I can think of.

Am I missing some search terms? A name?

Even better would be an exact product.

Thanks

Is it a standard, mini, or micro? This looks close, but almost mirror-imaged. TE has approximately grillions of USB connectors, so maybe ...

Response by poster: Sorry, standard USB B connector.

That is a weird footprint. Do you have the busted-off connector, or another board of the same type, you could examine for a manufacturer's name?
