NEW Universal USB Type C Mod to Restore your older devices! – YouTube

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/01/22

Nice videos about  USB-C receptacles replacement that might fit old mini-USB and sometimes micro-USB ones.

Before applying, check out the tables in USB hardware: Compatibilities – Wikipedia and the table I copied from USB hardware: connector dimensions – Wikipedia to ensure there is enough space to fit the USB-C receptacle in:

USB connector receptacle dimensions (internal opening)
Connector Type Width (mm) Height (mm) Depth (mm) Notes
Standard-A 12.35 4.5 15.2 Original full-size USB connector found on computers and hubs
Standard-B 11.1 7.0 12.0 Square-shaped connector commonly used on printers and external drives
Mini-A 7.5 3.0 5.0 Deprecated smaller connector, trapezoidal shape
Mini-B 7.5 3.0 5.0 Deprecated smaller connector, trapezoidal shape
Micro-A 6.85 1.8 6.0 Small connector for mobile devices, trapezoidal shape
Micro-B 6.85 1.8 6.0 Small connector for mobile devices, trapezoidal shape
Micro-AB 6.85 1.8 6.0 OTG connector that accepts both Micro-A and Micro-B plugs
USB-C 8.34 2.56 7.5 Modern reversible connector with oval shape

These dimensions are for the receptacle openings only and do not include the surrounding plastic or metal housing.[citation needed]

USB connector plug dimensions (external body)
Connector Type Width (mm) Height (mm) Length (mm) Notes
Standard-A 11.5 4.0 14.5 Original full-size USB connector found on cables
Standard-B 10.5 6.5 11.5 Square-shaped connector commonly used on device cables
Mini-A 7.0 2.5 4.5 Deprecated smaller connector, trapezoidal shape
Mini-B 7.0 2.5 4.5 Deprecated smaller connector, trapezoidal shape
Micro-A 6.0 1.3 5.5 Small connector for mobile devices, trapezoidal shape
Micro-B 6.0 1.3 5.5 Small connector for mobile devices, trapezoidal shape
USB-C 7.9 2.1 7.0 Modern reversible connector with oval shape

These dimensions are for the plug body only and do not include the cable strain relief or overmold.
