It allows you to connect standard USB devices like flash drives, keyboards, and Wi-Fi dongles directly to your Pi. Compact and durable, it’s essential for expanding your project’s connectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnector Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicro USB Male to USB-A Female\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSB Standard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSB 2.0 (High-Speed)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax Data Rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e480 Mbps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTG Support\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContact Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGold-plated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHousing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDurable plastic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You Can Build With This\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCreate a portable file server by connecting a USB flash drive to your Raspberry Pi Zero.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdd wireless connectivity with a USB Wi-Fi adapter to a headless Pi setup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuild a retro game console with external gamepad support via USB.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExpand storage with an external hard drive or SSD on a low-power Pi.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis adapter works with any device that supports USB OTG, including the Raspberry Pi Zero, Zero W, Zero 2 W, and Model A+. It operates at standard USB voltages (5V) and requires no additional drivers for most Linux distributions. For full-size Raspberry Pi models (3B, 4B) that have standard USB-A ports, this adapter is not needed but can be used with a micro USB power input port for data if supported.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWiring Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimply plug the micro USB end into your Pi’s data port (not the power-only port if separate) and connect your USB device to the female end. For Pi Zero, the micro USB port nearest the Mini HDMI is typically the data port; check your board labeling. No external power is required for low-power devices, but for high-power peripherals, use a powered USB hub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Compoden\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs this compatible with Raspberry Pi 4?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Raspberry Pi 4 has full-size USB-A ports for data, but this adapter can be used with its USB-C power port only if you’re using an OTG cable that supports data; this micro USB adapter is not designed for USB-C. It is compatible with micro USB OTG ports found on Pi Zero and A+ models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I charge my phone with this adapter?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis adapter is designed for data transfer, not charging. Using it to connect a charger may not provide sufficient power and could damage the adapter if used with high-current chargers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat if the device is not recognized?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnsure that OTG support is enabled in your operating system. On Raspberry Pi OS, it is usually enabled by default. Check dmesg for USB enumeration errors, and if the device draws too much power, use a powered hub.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"compoden-handoff\" style=\"margin-top:24px;padding:16px;background:#f0f4ff;border-left:4px solid #2B4D8F;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px 0;font-weight:600;color:#1A3560;\"\u003e📦 Free Setup Handoff Document Included\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:0.95em;color:#333;\"\u003eEvery Compoden order includes a free setup handoff document — step-by-step instructions to get your component working within minutes.
