DIY USB 3.1 Type-C plug for custom cables

This solder-type connector lets you build or repair a USB 3.1 Type-C cable with an outer diameter between 4.0 mm and 6.0 mm. It supports USB 3.0 Super-Speed at 5 Gbps, USB 2.0 Hi-Speed at 480 Mbps and USB 1.1 Low-Speed at 1.5 Mbps. The aluminium alloy shell protects the contacts and improves durability. The package supplies the connector, front cover, back cover and dual holder; no cable is included.

Check cable diameter and soldering ability

Verify that the cable you intend to use has an outer diameter from 4.0 mm to 6.0 mm so the covers and holder fit correctly. You need a soldering iron, flux and basic soldering skill to attach the wires to the plug contacts. Ensure your device or host port is a standard USB Type-C receptacle; this is a male plug only. No driver installation is required for the connector itself.

Low heat and silent operation in normal use

The passive metal shell dissipates the small amount of heat generated during data transfer without any fan or active cooling. There are no moving parts, so the connector adds no audible noise to the system. Power draw follows the USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 specifications and is determined by the connected devices, not by the plug itself.
