USB Connector Part

[ianlee74]

Can someone provide the Digikey or Mouser part number for the USB connector used on the RoboClaw 2x60A v5 controller? I managed to break mine off...

Also, is it possible to get one of the bottom heatsinks used on the new controllers and put it on a v5 controller?

Thanks!

1. I DO NOT recommend you try putting the USB connector on yourself. Unless you have alot of experience re-working SMT parts you could very well destroy the USB pads which will be the end of that board. We will install a new connector if you send it in to us at no charge.

2. No, the older revision boards dont have the exact same layout as the new ones so the metal plate on the new versions are not backwards compatible.

I do have some experience in reworking SMD parts. But, I'll be glad to send it in and let you take care of it. Thanks!
