## Description

This is the kind of seat-of-the-pants engineering genius that you only find in hackspaces, garden sheds or Shenzhen.

It's not for the faint-of-heart, it's not particularly spec-friendly, but it is useful and cool for Pi Zero hackers!

This tiny little shim pushes inside a full-sized USB connector and transforms it into a USB-On-The-Go compatible microUSB connector.

It's perfect for plugging a single USB peripheral into the Pi Zero with the minimum amount of spaghetti wiring.

**Note:** Plug into your USB device first, making sure the four contacts are facing in towards the contacts inside the USB connector! **It's on you** if you put it in the wrong way and things go FZZZZT! :D

**Warning:** You should also never plug this into a USB-A receptacle 'female' port, only a USB plug 'male' style device. So don't go plugging the big end into your Pi 3's ports :-)
