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/POLOLU-2593:1.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) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description | [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J4900_14338305ca6.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J4900_15007f4d2c6.jpg) | |---| | USB Mini-B connector breakout board, bottom view with dimensions. | This board breaks out the VBUS, GND, D-, D+ and ID pins of a USB Mini-B connector. The VBUS and GND pins can be used to power your project from USB, while the D- and D+ pins give you access to the USB differential data signals. Each of these pins, along with the ID pin, are broken out into a 1×5 row of 0.1"-spaced pins on the board. The included 1×5 [straight male header](https://core-electronics.com.au/0-100-2-54-mm-breakaway-male-header-1x40-pin-straight.html) can be soldered to these pins to allow the board to be used with perfboards, [solderless breadboards](https://core-electronics.com.au/prototyping/breadboards.html), and 0.1" connectors. This tiny unit measures only 0.52" × 0.85" (0.55" × 0.85" including its USB Mini-B connector) and has four 0.086" diameter mounting holes for #2 or M2 [screws](https://core-electronics.com.au/hardware/screws-nuts.html). | \| [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J4898_997354052c.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J4898_122597bcd16.jpg) \| \|---\| \| Close-up of Mini-B connector on the USB Mini-B connector breakout board. \| | \| [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J4899_1993057f751.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J4899_277147f8cec.jpg) \| \|---\|---\| \| USB Mini-B connector breakout board, top view. \| | |---| Pololu also carry a [USB Micro-B connector breakout board](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-micro-b-connector-breakout-board-49997.html) and two different versions of USB 2.0 Type-C connector breakout boards ([usb07a](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-2-0-type-c-connector-breakout-board-usb07a.html) and [usb07b](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-2-0-type-c-connector-breakout-board-usb07b.html)). Additionally, Pololu have two power muxes that double as USB Micro-B breakout boards: the [FPF1320 carrier](https://core-electronics.com.au/fpf1320-power-multiplexer-carrier-with-usb-micro-b-connector.html) and the [TPS2113A carrier](https://core-electronics.com.au/tps2113a-power-multiplexer-carrier-with-usb-micro-b-connector.html). These latter two power multiplexers make it easy to have a device that can be powered from both USB and an external supply. **People often buy this product together with:** | [![CP2104 USB-to-Serial Adapter Carrier](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J4789_4835a54686.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/cp2104-usb-to-serial-adapter-carrier.html) | [CP2104 USB-to-Serial Adapter Carrier](https://core-electronics.com.au/cp2104-usb-to-serial-adapter-carrier.html) | |---|---| | [![0.1" (2.54mm) Crimp Connector Housing: 1x2-Pin 25-Pack](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J1597_3580ef0a45.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/0-1-2-54mm-crimp-connector-housing-1x2-pin-25-pack.html) | [0.1" (2.54mm) Crimp Connector Housing: 1x2-Pin 25-Pack](https://core-electronics.com.au/0-1-2-54mm-crimp-connector-housing-1x2-pin-25-pack.html) | |---|---| | [![USB 2.0 Type-C Connector Breakout Board (usb07a)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J9077_4419bccb87.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-2-0-type-c-connector-breakout-board-usb07a.html) | [USB 2.0 Type-C Connector Breakout Board (usb07a)](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-2-0-type-c-connector-breakout-board-usb07a.html) | |---|---| **Dimensions** | Size: | 0.55" × 0.85" × 0.23"[1](https://core-electronics.com.au/#note1) | |---|---| | Weight: | 1.5 g[2](https://core-electronics.com.au/#note2) | **Identifying markings** | PCB dev codes: | usb04a | |---|---| | Other PCB markings: | 0J7721 | **Notes:** 1Without included optional headers.
