Mini-USB Type-B

Mini-USB Type-B is a distinct legacy connector, not a synonym for Micro-USB.

Also called Mini USB Mini-B Mini USB B

Mini and Micro are not interchangeable labels.

Look for

Compare the outline with Micro-B rather than choosing by approximate size alone. The record covers the standard five-contact Mini-B form, not proprietary small camera connectors.

Pins & wiring

Pinout

Choose the exact wiring. Pin numbers follow its stated view; a schematic does not establish physical positions. Check your exact device before wiring.

What the status labels mean
Confirmed
Recorded research passes agree within this variant; this is not independent human review or hardware validation.
Single source
Only one underlying document, or one pass, supports this assignment.
Device-specific
Supported for the named equipment or wiring only. Check your device’s manual.
Unverified
Missing or conflicting evidence. Do not wire from this row.
Not connected
The source explicitly says NC, no contact or no pin for this wiring.

Mini-USB Type-B: cable-end plug, exterior side study. Compact, shaped metal shell; wider housing behind the exposed plug. Not to scale; no pinout.

Cable extends to the right; exterior only.

Qualitative recognition study interpreted from the pictured manufacturer example. Inner contacts, exact dimensions and hidden surfaces are omitted.

Two things to notice

  1. Compact, shaped metal shell
  2. Wider housing behind the exposed plug

What the picture cannot tell you

Mini-B and Micro-B are different forms. This interpretive exterior is not a size template or a five-contact wiring diagram.

No receptacle drawn: a sufficiently clear, role-specific opening was not visually inspected for this pilot. Do not infer it by mirroring the plug.

Sources, drawing scope & rights

Visual references checked 2026-10-09. These are new, source-scoped recognition studies, not approved mechanical drawings, pinouts or compatibility verdicts. Independent drawing review remains pending.

The useful distinction

Recognize it. Then verify it.

Mini-USB Type-B is a distinct legacy connector, not a synonym for Micro-USB. [C005A]

Molex specifies 548190589 as a Mini USB-B receptacle, 5 loaded circuits and 1 row(s), with mating-interface pitch 0.80mm. [C005W]

Identify the documented form

Distinguish standard Mini-B from Micro-B and proprietary small camera connections.

  1. Use the complete Mini-USB Type-B designation. Mini-B is not another name for Micro-B. S001
  2. Compare its full outline with the documented compact, low-profile Micro-B form; approximate size and a shared contact count are insufficient. S001 · S001

Keep this limit: This standard-form reference does not identify an arbitrary small camera connector. S001

Make the next check

Find the connector designation in the exact camera or peripheral manual; compare both ends of its specified cable.

Existing source inspection and AI review remain distinct from independent technical review. A matching form does not establish a safe connection.

Recorded variant and source limits
  • No V54 contact numbering or electrical assignment map is published.
  • Certification status is not an interoperability verdict for existing devices or cables.
  • USB 2.0 Series mini-B (ECN #1): Receptacle face, wide side up: 1 left to 5 right (Figure 6-11 callouts).
  • USB 2.0 Mini-B receptacle/plug: Contact-number convention of ECN #1 Table 6-2.

Before you connect

What to check

  1. Use the product manual’s full connector name.
  2. Compare against both Micro-B and Mini HDMI; names alone are easy to confuse.
  3. Do not assume an old camera’s small port is standard USB.
