content: I've usually seen these referred to as breakout boards. Searching USB 3 breakout returns quite a bit of results, includinghttps://www.amazon.com/Type-Male-Plug-Breakout-Board/dp/B01MRK0REP. That might get you pointed in the right direction.Edit: MicroB male breakout:https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10031USB 3 MicroB male breakout:https://elabbay.myshopify.com/products/usb3-bm-bo-v1av-micro-usb-3-0-type-b-male-socket-breakout-board

content: Devices use female connectors, cables use males, as a general rule. That means every device you make will use a female port, and they'll be connected by male-to-male cables, so there isn't as much demand or stock of male board mount connectors aside from devices that plug directly into a usb port with no cable. In that case, using a standard PCB thickness, you can just make an edge connector set of contacts for a USB port, and plug the PCB directly into the female port, though this won't work for the mini connectors, and I'm not sure it works for USB three... maybe you just need two sides of contacts.My preference? Cut a USB cable in half, crimp 2.54mm female connectors on the leads, and put them in a female header housing. Then you've got USB direct to board when you need it as just a cable.
