How to make an adapter to connect a flash drive to a smartphone

Using this simple homemade adapter, you can connect almost any USB device to your smartphone: flash drive, webcam, mouse, keyboard, etc. The Android system supports everything without problems.
This adapter is very easy to make yourself from an unnecessary charger with a wire.

You will need:


USB socket that can be unsoldered from the charger case.

The contacts will need to be bent in parallel, otherwise they initially go perpendicular to the board.
Micro-USB pin connector corresponding to your phone. Also cut off from the charging wire. The wires are unsoldered and the rubber casing is removed. This is how it turns out.

The contact pads must match. If not, extend the contacts with wires.
We simply plug the adapter into the smartphone and connect a flash drive or, in our case, a card reader with a flash drive.

    If there is no support for the OTG function, THEN IT IS USELESS. I'm surprised by this kind of advice.

      Just plugged it in and it worked? And you don’t even need to install a jumper?

    of course, four contacts on one side and four on the other🤣.... but it won’t work... the micro USB connector needs to be opened and a jumper put in between the “negative” and “status” contacts
    now everything is ok))
    check the information a hundred times! take care of your nerves and devices))
