3. Interconnection
The Micro-USB-Hub-V2 is not equipped with connectors on the down ports: you must directly solder
wires or connectors on the transversal contacts designed for this. This considerably reduces the
space needed compared to a USB socket and the plug that fits in it. With the Micro-USB-Hub-V2,
there are numerous connection methods.
3.1. Connecting Yoctopuce modules
The Micro-USB-Hub-V2 is designed to allow you to connect up to four Yoctopuce modules, fixing
them with screws and spacers. You will obtain a small compact block which will likely fit into your
project. Use M2.5 screws with a head diameter of no more than 4.5mm. You can find such spacers
and screw on Yoctopuce shop under the reference Fix-2.5mm. For the USB connection between the
modules and the hub, you can solder electric wires, but the most practical solution is to solder
headers with 1.27 pitch, available on Yoctopuce shop under the reference Board2Board-127.
Alternatively, you can use small cables and connectors available under the reference 1.27-1.27-11.
