Douobt USB connector and pcb fixed

[gamer87fla]

on a usb device such as a pendrive, 2.4ghz wireless adapter, how is the usb connector fixed to the PCB to resist the force exerted when pulling this device from a usb where it holds this device very tightly inside? It's happened to me a few times and I thought it was going to break between the connector, the PCB and the plastic of the device.

Full sized USB-A is usually a through hole connector. (i.e. Legs soldered into PCB holes)

Is strong resistant? Usb wireless 2.4ghz adapter controller uses soldered connector?

Most likely like posted on the picture above. I managed to break the connector from a USB drive about a decade ago but managed to solder it back to its place.

That is why I like the Samsung BAR Plus; the body takes the strain.

It's much more likely that the usb-a and PCB will come out of the shell than the usb-a come apart from the PCB. I've had a few of the former, none of the latter.

Like those Kingston DT9 drives I used to have, the connector is the same aluminium housing where the stick itself is inside.

The only time I managed to do the latter was when I was in school and knocked my thumb drive with my knee by accident as the computers were on the floor.

I have had a couple of mine, at the top of the "entry", bend down a little, making it harder to insert and remove. The metal is a bit thin.

I have a 3 DTSE9s that still work fine. They are only USB 2.0 so a bit slow sturdy as hell. I also have one DTSE9 G2 that is still working just fine. It's slightly longer than the older ones but it's much faster with USB 3.0 .

The USB connector shielding itself is also likely soldered onto the PCB.

Yeah, those were slow as hell but still did their job as a basic drive.

I have the 256GB version and it gets so hot during large file transfers, that it could probably keep a cup of coffee warm. But the construction is very solid.

my 2.4ghz wireless joystick adapter is very fixed inside the tvbox's USB port. When pulling to remove it, is there a risk of breaking the adapter's usb connector or breaking the tvbox's usb port?

Technically yes. But hold it firmly close to the connection and pull slowly. You are much more likely to break the connector/port if you start twisting and bending, compared to pulling straight outwards

This, as the pic posted don't show to well

When done correctly more like, how ever things have been getting cheaper so it not be though hole support.

my adapter
connector usb is strong soldered?

We don't know. I mean I can't speak for the other posters, but I personally do not have x-ray vision (especially not when it comes to screenshots posted on a forum).

Take a firm hold and pull slowly straight out. Either it will come out or it will break. In 99 of 100 attempts this will work just fine. You are most likely misjudging how hard it is stuck in there.

And if option two happens you better find some nose pliers and go to town after you turn off the equipment.

break is easy this connector?

We do not know without having said connector on the table in front of us. In what measurement is easy? Metric or imperial? /s

Just remove it already.

You can break pretty much anything if you try hard enough, in my experience if you treat your stuff sensibly in most cases things should last with possibly some exceptions for incredibly cheap and nasty parts.
