I have been looking for some USB female type A connectors in board mount or anything I can get. I cannot seem to find these connectors anywhere on the internet. Sparkfun sells most other USB connectors but not this one. Anyone know where I can order some of these? ---

Um, this is really not hard. Where were you looking?

Digi-Key mostly. I was hoping to buy them here. Mouser is really expensive ($5.00 for one connector, come on!) ---

Their shipping is a lot cheaper. Here in the UK, at any rate. Leon ---

“Mouser is really expensive ($5.00 for one connector, come on!)” Did you try ordering by price? 806-KUSBX-AS1N-B is $0.70/pc I generally find for most things (not everything) Mouser is considerably cheaper than Digikey. ---

Yes but they charge $19 for shipping when Digi-Key only charges $8 no matter how large the order is (most orders anyways) ---

Mouser shipping by USPS is $6.75 to residential addresses for a 1lb package. If you’re outside the US, try a local supplier - e.g. [www.rapidonline.com](http://www.rapidonline.com) is cheap in the UK
