I finally got around to fix a USB hub that lost the connector. The original connector were a "Micro B 3.0 female".
Someone on /diy suggested solder on a normal USB3.0 female connector.
But I found out that the board only has 4 pins and normal USB3.0 uses 8 AND micro B uses 10!
I'm a newb on this and this shit confuses the fuck out of me!

you're mixing up pins and pads, maybe that's why no one responds.
Provide non-shitty pics of the board please..

*Facepalm* You are right, I honestly didn't even see the pins, had to bring out the magnifying glass just to see it. I'm filled with stupid!

Btw do you know how I can figure out which order the pins are?
>>
>>1036024
post more of the board?

Seriously, if you can't figure it out with color coded physical drawings found on the first page of a Google search, this project is probably a little beyond your skill level.
>>
>>1036040
Wow, you're really cool. What an edgy response, especially considering no one else has mentioned the pinout yet, and that's what op was requesting in the post that I responded to.

Seriously, why are you here?

You're still mixing up pins and pads.
A pad is a copper area on PCB intended to solder something on it
A pin is a metal part sticking out of a component.

And, I'd recommend you just to buy a fitting socket, it's $2 or so and you won't have to bother with pushing square box through round hole.

Thank you, will save it for later but for now I want to try and do it manually.. any hints on how I'm suppose to solder something that small (I just got used to solder regular shit), like the heating etc?
>>
>>1036118
If your new to soldering, don't. The only reason I have the skills required to do what you are wanting to do is because of a lot of practice and burns. You have a surface mount part that needs to go on, and soldering to those small trace like pads is something only someone with experience should do. Get some experience with larger smt parts and mod wire, then come back to this.
>>
>>1036296
Does the mount part and pads make any significant difference?
>>
>>1036318
The first smd part I soldered had half a cm between legs that needed soldered, and had oversized pads to solder to.

Size of the legs/leads on the part and size of the pads/traces and spacing of those leads and traces always matters. Op, if you insist on soldering on a new socket there, then be prepared to burn your fingers, work under magnification, and make sure to check for shorts. With smd, having filament like threads of solder bridging two contacts is possible, and with USB, having them can and will have the potential to burn out either the powering device, the hub, or the device or all three.
>>
>>1036047
are you fucking serious? the OP has posted pinout himself you blind idiot.

>>1036042
you know i just noticed you don't need to know the order because the connector will only fit 1 way on the board.
>>
>>1036329
Okey but what do they do the pads do from a technical standpoint?
Because I originally wanted to just solder on a normal USB 3.0 female port (since I've always hated Micro B). Is that possibility out of the window?
>>
>>1036427
Ahh, I understand now. The layout may be a little different, I'm not quite sure, but as long as the pins in the connector go to the right places, it should just work.
>>
>>1036730
Thoughts so as well until the pads seemed to become a factor in this..
