## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA1827:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA1827:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Make your own USB connections without slicing apart a USB cable and soldering those thin wires inside. This is the 'slim' version of the DIY USB-A Male connector. It's a little more elegant because instead of snapping two pieces together the connector press-fits into the overmolding for a modern look. We also carry the slim size in [Micro-B Male](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-diy-slim-connector-shell-microb-plug.html) and [USB-microB female.](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-diy-connector-microb-female-plug.html)
 
 Normal DIY "USB shells" are available in [USB A plug](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-diy-connector-shell-type-a-male-plug.html), [micro B](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-diy-connector-shell-type-micro-b-plug.html), [mini B](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-diy-connector-shell-type-mini-b-plug.html) and [USB A socket.](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-diy-connector-shell-type-a-socket.html)
