Pinout Description
This 2-pin power cable features a micro USB connector on one end and a standard USB connector on the other. Despite having only 2 pins, it is essential to understand the functionality of each pin to ensure safe and efficient power transmission.
Pin Structure and Connection Guide
Here's a point-by-point explanation of each pin and how to connect them:
Micro USB Connector (2-Pin)
1. VCC (Pin 1) - Power Pin
Function: Carries the positive voltage supply (typically 5V) from the USB host device to the connected device.
Connection: Connect to the VCC pin on the device that requires power (e.g., a microcontroller, sensor, or other IoT module).
2. GND (Pin 2) - Ground Pin
Function: Provides the ground reference point for the power supply and completes the electrical circuit.
Connection: Connect to the GND pin on the device that requires power. This pin should be connected to the negative terminal of the power supply or the ground plane of the PCB.
Standard USB Connector (Not Applicable in this 2-Pin Cable)
Note: The standard USB connector typically has four pins: VCC, GND, D+, and D-. However, since this cable only has two pins, the data transmission pins (D+ and D-) are not present.
Important Considerations
When connecting the cable, ensure that the VCC pin is connected to the positive power supply pin on the device, and the GND pin is connected to the negative power supply pin or the ground plane.
Be cautious not to reverse the polarity of the connections, as this can damage the connected devices.
This cable is only suitable for power transmission and does not support data transfer.
Always follow proper safety precautions when working with electrical connections to avoid shock, injury, or damage to devices.

 Wire configuration: 2-pin (VCC and GND)
 Power rating: Up to 2.5A, 5V
 Cable material: Copper wires with PVC insulation

Example 1: Powering an IoT Board with a USB Port

In this example, we will demonstrate how to use the One-Sided Micro USB To USB Power Cable to power an IoT board (such as an Arduino or Raspberry Pi) that has a micro USB port for power input.

Hardware Requirements

IoT board with micro USB port for power input (e.g., Arduino Uno or Raspberry Pi Zero)

 USB power source (e.g., laptop, wall adapter, or battery pack)

Code Example (Arduino)

Assuming you have an Arduino Uno board with a built-in USB port for power input, you can use the following code to demonstrate the power connection:
```c
void setup() {
  // Initialize the board
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  // Your application code here
  Serial.println("Arduino Uno powered via USB!");
  delay(1000);
}
```
Connect the micro USB end of the cable to the Arduino Uno board and the USB-A end to a power source (e.g., a laptop or wall adapter). The board will receive power and execute the code.
