Cable gender changer InLine 92504A — adapter for reversing connector orientation

The InLine USB‑A terminal block adapter transfers USB 2.0 signals to a 5‑pin screw terminal without soldering or cutting cables. The standard USB‑A plug mates directly with a compact housing that contains a clearly labeled 5‑position terminal block: 1: – (ground), 2: D+, 3: D–, 4: + (VBUS), 5: S (shield). The adapter supports single wires in the 16–26 AWG range and is suitable for service, test setups, development and prototyping where fast, removable connections are required.

Advantages

Quick wiring via screw terminals saves installation time; terminals accept 16–26 AWG and are actuated with a flat‑head screwdriver ≤ 2.5 mm. The pressure‑plate terminals provide secure contact and clear terminal assignment for easy service, testing and prototyping. Compact dimensions (approx. 50 × 21.2 × 18.4 mm) allow use in tight setups or adapter strips. Electrical ratings — 0.7 A per pin, insulation resistance ≥ 10 MΩ at 300 V DC and a 300 V AC test voltage — support reliable signal transmission in industrial environments.

Suitable for

• Service and maintenance tasks requiring temporary USB signal access
• Test benches and laboratory setups for measurement and debugging
• Commissioning, troubleshooting and prototyping of USB‑2.0 devices

How to use

Insert the USB‑A plug into the host or device USB‑A receptacle. Strip and prepare individual wires (16–26 AWG), insert each conductor into the matching numbered terminal (1 through 5) and tighten the screw using a flat‑head screwdriver (≤ 2.5 mm) until secure. Use the clear terminal labeling to assign ground, D+, D–, VBUS and shield correctly. The adapter enables fast connection and disconnection for testing or temporary setups without soldering.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long‑term operation, ensure wire cross‑section is within the specified 16–26 AWG range, tighten screws to achieve secure contact, avoid exposing the adapter to temperatures outside –20 °C to +105 °C, and limit per‑pin current to 0.7 A. Use the adapter primarily for USB‑2.0 signalling and temporary or test applications rather than permanent high‑current power delivery.
