Goobay 12035 USB-A Crimp Plug Instruction Manual

Introduction

The Goobay 12035 is a USB-A plug designed for solderless crimp mounting, providing a convenient solution for repairing or custom-building USB cables. This plug includes an integrated strain relief mechanism to ensure durability and a secure connection. It is supplied as a single set per polybag, ready for immediate use.

Setup and Assembly

This USB-A plug is designed for easy assembly without the need for soldering. Follow these steps to properly connect your cable:

Prepare the Cable: Carefully strip the outer jacket of your USB cable to expose the four internal wires (typically red, white, green, and black). Ensure the wires are not damaged.
Arrange Wires: Identify the correct pinout for your USB-A connection. Typically, red is VCC (+5V), white is D- (Data-), green is D+ (Data+), and black is GND (Ground). It is crucial to align these wires correctly with the corresponding terminals on the plug.
Insert Wires: Insert each stripped wire into its designated slot on the internal connector block. Ensure the wires are fully seated.
Crimp Connection: Once all wires are correctly positioned, close the plug's housing. The design of the Goobay 12035 allows for a crimp-style connection by simply pressing the components together. Apply firm, even pressure until the plug is securely closed and the wires are firmly gripped.
Secure Strain Relief: Ensure the cable is properly seated within the integrated strain relief mechanism to prevent bending and damage at the connection point.

Operation

Once assembled, the Goobay 12035 USB-A crimp plug functions as a standard USB-A connector. Simply plug the assembled cable into any compatible USB-A port on a computer, charger, or other device. Verify the connection by checking if the connected device is recognized and functions as expected.

Maintenance

Cleaning: Keep the plug contacts clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Avoid liquid cleaners.
Storage: Store unused plugs in a dry environment, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. The original polybag packaging (Figure 2) provides adequate protection.
Inspection: Periodically inspect assembled cables for any signs of wear or damage, especially at the strain relief point.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Device not recognized / No power.	Incorrect wire alignment or poor connection.	Carefully re-open the plug (if possible without damage) and verify that each wire is correctly inserted into its corresponding terminal and fully seated. Ensure the red wire is VCC and black is GND.
Plug breaks during assembly.	Excessive force applied during crimping or improper alignment of components.	Apply firm, even pressure when closing the plug. Ensure all components are aligned before applying force. If the plug is damaged, it may need to be replaced.
Intermittent connection.	Loose wire connection or insufficient strain relief.	Ensure wires are fully seated and the plug is securely closed. Verify the cable is properly secured by the strain relief.
