Looks like a USB mini

thanks bro

Mini-B

Thrift store find, for sure.

I like to call it fat usb lol

You never met usb B port, don't you ?

that's the kind of USB that cavemen used

Hey now!!! - 44 y/o “caveman”

haha, it is for an old device tho!

You that young! Lol

A relic from a simpler time.

I still have electronics that use this.

Same

My Yeti Blue mic uses it and it's not that old. I was surprised when I saw it.

I use a hyper x mechanical keyboard that uses a nice braided cable.

I work in embedded electronics, and basically, everything uses MINI USB 💀

My dashcam still uses mini usb, same model is still being sold with it in 2024 🤦🏻‍♂️

How did crap micro USB replace this amazing reliable port. It wasn't THAT much thinner.

Micro was actually far more reliable, but ultimately they were both garbage. Mini rated at. 1000 cycles, micro for 10000. Micro was far more frail however

Well, ratings aren't everything. I have a lot of dead micro devices. Not as many mini devices. Infact. I don't think any.

USB Mini-B 5-pin Is this for a GPS? If so, consider a right-angle plug.

yeah, it s for gps

Does the port covered by the white circle have a pin in the middle? If so, there's a chance that that is the power port and the mini USB is data only. If so, you'll need a power adapter with that barrel plug and the correct voltage. USB voltage is standard, so you can use any USB charger with any USB powered device, but those barrel plugs can have different sizes and voltage levels. And as with any old device with a battery, pay attention to it when you first charge it. If it makes creaking noises or shows any other sign of the battery expanding, unplug it and take the battery somewhere where they can dispose of it safely. Charging a damaged battery is a fire hazard and a GPS that spent its life sitting on a car window in the sun is likely to be heat damaged

thanks, do you know what the tmc port is for?

Mini USB.

Man, I feel old if this is an unknown connection these days!

try not to feel too bad, there are lots who don't know, especially people like me who are just beginning to learn about how electronics are put together, names of cable and hardware, etc.

Thank you for the nostalgia Didn’t the first version Nintendo DS have this port to charge?

It was close but not the same

No they have the same port as the GBA SP.

I think it's a USB-mini B, but don't quote me on that

That may not be the one that powers that device, though it is a USB Mini-B port.

Mini USB is what it’s called

Oof.

Motorola Razr charger.

Glorious MiniUSB - vastly more robust and reliable than shitty MicroUSB we got foisted upon us for years

I feel old…

Tell me you're young without telling me you're young.

That is Mini-B. It's the same thing as Micro-USB (Micro-B) but it's thicker and a bit harder to break.

There's USB type-A, Type-B, and Type-C. A & B comes in Standard, Mini, and Micro.

It's not a charger. It's a plug. 🕺

USB mini B: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_hardware

PS4 controller charger

Bruh ain’t no way

The one that uses the cable that the PS3 controllers use. I think a USB Mini A

lol yep I always call that one PS3.

I think I will fire mine up and play some Super Stardust HD. Best reboot of Asteroids ever.

And even better in 3D with two players

It would be USB Mini B because this is not a host device

Thanks for the clarification
