Cost perhaps.
- mmoskal 4y agoProbably under $0.05 difference - but when trying to hit $4 retail every cent matters.
- avian 4y agoA quick search on the supplier page I happen to have open right now puts the cheapest Micro B connector in stock at around $0.20 and the cheapest C at around $0.40 (both at factory MoQ). So the price difference still appears to be around x2. A few years ago when I was working on a project, the factor was in low two digits. It was a no-brainer to choose micro B over C.
- mmoskal 4y agoWell, LCSC [0] has microB at around $0.02 [1] and USB-C (16 pin) at $0.05 [2] [0] https://lcsc.com/products/USB-Connectors_369.html https://lcsc.com/products/USB-Connectors_369.html [1] https://lcsc.com/product-detail/USB-Connectors_XKB-Connectivity-U254-051T-4BH83-F1S_C397452.html https://lcsc.com/product-detail/USB-Connectors_XKB-Connectiv...
