Mini USB wiring configuration

[Guest The Doctor]

Ok, i broke my charger :D well, not completely, just bent the mini usb plug and all the gold pins on the inside have fallen out. and i've got a spare mini usb cable lying around at home so i thought i'd take the mini usb plug off the one and attach it to the other, problem being i dont know what the wiring config is for the standar mini usb is. ie. i dont know what colour goes where. i do however know where i need the original wires to go.

so in short:

if anybody could provide me with the wiring configuration of a mini usb plug showing me what colour wires go where i would be most grateful :D

Hi Phil

check this page, it's the standard usb wiring : http://www.usb.org/developers/docs/ecn1.pdf

normaly they are only 2 wires used, 1 & 4 for charging (+5V or Vbus and GND)

(see pages 16 & 6-7 of pdf)

happy soldering :D

Except i'm going to use it to power my usb speakers :D

Luckily I already had a Zener Diode, a female usb plug and a 100 ohm resistor lying around :D
