    Help identifying a usb type connector

    Hi all. I need to identify this connector from my Smoothtalker S7 cradle. It is narrower than a micro Usb and the same height.

    I would like to get a cable has this fitting at one end and a USB A Male at the other end that I can plug into my Anker fast charger (the smoothtalker cradle is not a fast charger (just a stock cig lighter plug) so I am keen to convert it assuming that the little connector attached can handle the amps?

    Cheers uploadfromtaptalk1471259856961.jpg

    Hard to tell from the pic. Is it reversible? Could be a type C connector. Any chance of a better pic?

    Its a little hard to see but if the device is a couple of years old then it may be a mini B connector rather than a micro connector. USB C connectors are the latest format just starting to appear on devices.

    Cheers

    As the others have said.. little tricky to make out.

    How many contacts does it have?




    Could it be a USB- Mini4B or USB-Mini5A ?

    Thanks guys I think it might be a USB Mini B 8 Pin buy where I only need 2 pins for charging. I can get a solder USB A Male and add put that in place of the current cig plug... Or also get the Mini B female solder socket and make up my own lead. Do you reckon these connectors should allow fast charging for the s7? Cheers

    I thought a USB connector had only 4 ~ 5 pins. It's a bit difficult to make out but your picture seems to show more than 5 pins.
