Hello,

We need to convert a custom interface to USB. This requires only a small
electronic PCB. The most elegant solution would be to fit the PCB into
one of the common USB stick housings.
We found that Samtec makes USB connectors that can be soldered directly
to PCB boards, as the ones used in USB sticks.

What we still look for is a plastic housing, like the ones used for the
common memory sticks. Is anybody aware of a manufacturer of a standard
plastic housing for that, or is it absolutely necessary to make your own
mould (our quantities hardly justify that)?

Hi Heiner,

I found a company, New Age Enclosures
(http://www.newageenclosures.com/default.aspx), that can supply the
enclosures from stock--so no NRE if you are OK with their housing. Of
course, you can add bells and whistles and do custom stuff too.

FYI, I have no affiliation with the company nor have I seen the sample I
requested yet. I know it took me a while to find them so I can maybe
save you some time. The biggest problem was the search terms to use as
most of the stuff I tried took me to USB assemblies. Now that you have
their web page maybe you can use some of their terminology to find
others.

Check them out and let me know how it works out--I'd be interested.

Cheers,

James.
