## 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)
