Adafruit Reversible USB Type A Plug Connector Breakout

Quantum superposition is a fascinating physics concept where light and matter exist as both particles and waves simultaneously. This intriguing phenomenon is humorously relatable when attempting to plug in a USB Type A cable—it's both right-side-up and upside-down until you succeed after several attempts.

The Adafruit Reversible USB Type A Plug Connector Breakout offers a clever solution with a thin central contact, allowing correct insertion in either orientation. Perfect for boards requiring LED indicators or displays to face consistently, no matter the USB port setup.

This connector features a half through-hole and half surface-mount design, ensuring a secure mechanical connection to the PCB with reliable mounting tabs. It provides four classic USB connectors: 5V, ground, D+, and D-, alongside a 'shield' contact for the metal body. A small header is included for perf or breadboard use, enhancing its versatility.
