Pin Configuration

Component Documentation: 3M USB to Micro USB Cable Black
Introduction
The 3M USB to Micro USB Cable Black is a standard cable used for connecting devices with a Micro-USB port to a host device with a USB port, such as a computer or wall adapter. This cable is commonly used for charging and data transfer between devices.
Pinout Structure
The USB to Micro USB Cable consists of two connectors: a Standard-A USB connector and a Micro-B USB connector. The pinout structure for each connector is as follows:
Standard-A USB Connector (Host Side)
Pin 1: VCC (Voltage Supply)
+ Function: Provides power to the device
+ Voltage: +5V
Pin 2: D- (Data -)
+ Function: Carries data signals from the host device to the device
Pin 3: D+ (Data +)
+ Function: Carries data signals from the host device to the device
Pin 4: GND (Ground)
+ Function: Provides a ground connection for the device
Pin 5: Shield
+ Function: Provides shielding for the cable to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI)
Micro-B USB Connector (Device Side)
Pin 1: VCC (Voltage Supply)
+ Function: Receives power from the host device
+ Voltage: +5V
Pin 2: D- (Data -)
+ Function: Receives data signals from the host device
Pin 3: D+ (Data +)
+ Function: Receives data signals from the host device
Pin 4: ID (Identification)
+ Function: Used for device identification and configuration
Pin 5: GND (Ground)
+ Function: Provides a ground connection for the device
Pin 6: Shell
+ Function: Provides shielding for the cable to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI)
Connection Structure
To connect the pins properly, follow these steps:
1. VCC (Pin 1): Connect the VCC pin on the Standard-A USB connector to the VCC pin on the Micro-B USB connector. This ensures power is supplied from the host device to the device.
2. D- (Pin 2): Connect the D- pin on the Standard-A USB connector to the D- pin on the Micro-B USB connector. This allows data to be transmitted from the host device to the device.
3. D+ (Pin 3): Connect the D+ pin on the Standard-A USB connector to the D+ pin on the Micro-B USB connector. This allows data to be transmitted from the host device to the device.
4. GND (Pin 4): Connect the GND pin on the Standard-A USB connector to the GND pin on the Micro-B USB connector. This provides a common ground connection between the devices.
5. Shield (Pin 5): Connect the Shield pin on the Standard-A USB connector to the Shell pin on the Micro-B USB connector. This ensures proper shielding and reduces electromagnetic interference.
Note: Make sure to handle the cable with care to avoid damaging the pins or the insulation. Always connect the cable to the correct ports on the host device and the device to avoid damage or malfunction.
By following this documentation, you should be able to properly connect the 3M USB to Micro USB Cable Black and ensure reliable data transfer and power supply between devices.
