This amazing phenomenon can be demonstrated at home when you try to plug in a USB Type-A cable in, it's both right-side-up and upside-down at the same time! That's why you have to try at least 3 times to plug it in.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Adafruit Reversible USB Type A Plug Connector Breakout solves this issue by having a thin contact piece in the middle, so you can plug it either way and it always has the same pin-out. Great for boards with indicator LEDs or displays that need to be facing 'up' or 'out' no matter which way the port is set up.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe connector we use is half through-hole and half-SMT, so there's a good mechanical connection to the PCB via mounting tabs. You get all four classic USB connectors (5V, ground, D+ and D-) plus a 'shield' contact for the metal body.
