content: HiCurrently attempting to repair a broken USB port on an MSI 'Gaming' laptop. The broken part is a USB A, 90 degree, through hole mount, socket (female) but it is fitted on the underside of the circuit board. We have been looking all morning (Farnell, RS, e-bay) but can only find the common or garden 'top side' variety.Can anyone help with a possible supplier and part number? I am in the UK.Thanks in advance.

content: Thanks for the responseExample of the common 'top side' variety.https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/type-a-usb-connectors/7060208/One of those with the pins and PCB mounting inverted 180 degrees.A photo of the broken part would not be very informative - It is identical to the part I have listed, except the plastic bar which keys the orientation is no longer with us.

content: Once again, thanks for the response.Sadly the drawing you have posted is for a 'standard' vertical mount. I have plenty of those in stock.Attached diagram illustrates the 'underslung' variety we are searching for.If we can not find one I can probably modify a standard 'top side' socket but it seems a shame to bodge a £1K laptop for want of a £1 socket.

I lived/worked in Moscow for 18 months and never got further than "pa-jul-sta" and "spa-si-bo."Thanks for taking an interest.
