## 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 MicroB 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 [USB-A male](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-diy-slim-connector-shell-a-m-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)
