I got tired of using my audio interface with a USB type-B port, so I decided to create a small drop-in replacement PCB that uses the USB type-B pins but features a USB type-C port. To replace your type-B port, desolder it and grab 2x 2 pin 2.54mm headers. Since the pins on a USB type-B board are 2.5(4?)mm x 2.00mm, you'll have to file away the sides of these headers to fit.

I've initially ordered 30pcs and placed them at the solder table.

I got tired of using my audio interface with a USB type-B port, so I decided to create a small drop-in replacement PCB that uses the USB type-B pins but features a USB type-C port. To replace your type-B port, desolder it and grab 2x 2 pin 2.54mm headers. Since the pins on a USB type-B board are 2.5(4?)mm x 2.00mm, you'll have to file away the sides of these headers to fit.

I've initially ordered 30pcs and placed them at the solder table.
