Title: Raccoon Cables Type USB Connectors?
Post by: Angelwork on Thu, 20 February 2014, 23:47:32

I was wondering if anyone knew where to get the connector tips for USB Type A and USB Mini Type B that Raccoon Cables uses for his cables?  I'm talking about the kind that come split and can be folded over on each other so as to achieve the "sleeving under the connector" look.  I've sleeved my PSU and have a heat gun, soldering gun, MDPC sleeving, etc.  I just haven't the slightest idea where to get these connectors.

If you're looking for low bulk, IE - 1 to 5, mouser/digikey can get you set up.

They have tons of them on eBay for like $2 for 10 sets.

Type "Set Male USB Mini-B Type Connector Mount Socket" into search and you'll find a ton of them.
