Micro USB OTG Adapter for Raspberry Pi | Male to USB-A Female
Micro USB Male to USB-A Female Adapter for Raspberry Pi & OTG Devices
This adapter converts a Micro USB male port into a standard USB-A female port, enabling USB On-The-Go (OTG) functionality. It allows you to connect USB peripherals like keyboards, mice, flash drives, and game controllers to devices that have a Micro USB OTG port. Essential for expanding the connectivity of single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi Zero.

Compatibility
Works with any device that has a Micro USB OTG port and supports USB host mode. Primarily designed for Raspberry Pi Zero and Zero W, but also compatible with Orange Pi Zero, NanoPi, and some Android phones and tablets with OTG. Operates at standard 5V logic; no additional drivers required on Linux-based SBCs.
Wiring Notes
No wiring needed—just plug the Micro USB connector into the data/PWR port of your Raspberry Pi Zero (the one closer to the edge, not the power-only port). The adapter internally connects the ID pin to ground, automatically enabling OTG host mode. Ensure your device software supports OTG.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every 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.
Is this compatible with Raspberry Pi 4?
The Raspberry Pi 4 has full-size USB-A ports and does not require a Micro USB OTG adapter. This adapter is specifically for boards with a Micro USB host port, like the Raspberry Pi Zero.
Can I charge my phone through this adapter?
This adapter is intended for data transfer. While power may pass through, it is not designed for charging and may not support fast charging protocols.
Will it work with my Android phone?
If your Android phone has a Micro USB port and supports USB OTG, this adapter should allow you to connect USB devices. OTG may need to be enabled in phone settings.
