Attention should be paid to these details when welding the MICRO USB female socket

1. Generally, due to the large number of interface pins on the MICRO USB socket, and the longer the pins, the less pressure it can withstand, it is recommended not to use heavy objects to compress the product when storing the USB socket interface to avoid damage to the USB socket. And for the packaging of MICRO USB female socket, it is recommended to generally use tape packaging, as this can avoid pin damage caused by drops during soldering and handling operations.

Secondly, when welding the micro USB socket, please be careful not to pour out all the packaging tubes of the micro USB socket at once. If you do not pay attention to the strength when picking up the material, the products will be squeezed against each other, causing a pin foot to bend under force and show unevenness on the solder pad, which may lead to virtual welding and false welding during welding.

3. Due to the lack of plastic positioning columns at the bottom of the micro USB socket, it is easy to cause positional deviation problems during some routine operations, especially when using machine mount technology. Generally, during welding, please pay more attention to whether the plastic positioning columns of the USB socket are welded in the correct position. Please do so before welding, otherwise once the welding is stable, it will be difficult to change and adjust the position of the USB socket.

4. When manually soldering, it is usually important to place the micro USB socket on the solder pads of the PCB circuit board. It has been found that many users place the socket in a conventional way, which can cause the interface of the micro USB socket connector to deviate as a whole when exiting the SMT machine port. This can result in the 5 pins of the USB socket not being able to correspond to the solder pads, leading to the risk of non functionality or short circuit caused by the rear placement.

Before soldering the MICRO USB socket, it is generally important to apply solder flux to the solder joints and pins. However, it is important not to stick too much solder flux, as it may be difficult to remove later on. Because the function of soldering flux is not only to make soldering smoother, but also to fix the USB port and prevent it from shifting during soldering. Regarding the small size of the USB socket at the rear, it is generally difficult to solder the USB interface pins. If the distance between the pins is too close during soldering, the two pins may be accidentally soldered together.

The use of MICRO USB socket is quite common, but without understanding the basic precautions for using USB sockets, some issues related to the use of USB sockets can be easily overlooked, which can lead to malfunctions. However, when the MICRO USB female socket experiences a short circuit fault and cannot be used in daily use, for detecting circuit faults, please do not use the USB socket while it is powered on. Moreover, it is generally not recommended to handle it privately without technical personnel to avoid exacerbating the problem.
