Looking for some small USB Adapters
I have a USB charging cable, which cannot be changed, that I'd like to adapt to allow various USB items to connect and charge. The business end of the cable terminates with a USB Mini-B male connector.
I have two devices I wish to charge from this cable. One has a USB Type A (F) port, the other has a USB Micro-B (5 pin) (F) port.
The space in which the cable sits is limited to the point that the adapter needs to be about the size of a normal USB pendrive.
I've found one of these (seem to be out of stock pretty much everywhere) to take care of the Mini to Micro conversion but I can't seem to find anything similar for the Mini to USB A.
:help: please.
tl;dr
Have: Mini-b male end.
Need: to connect to 5 pin Micro B female and USB A female.
Where: Space is limited.
Picture of different USB types.

I can check u[p when I get home, but I think the old Archos AV500 had a mini-B socket that acted as a USB host. It also came with a cable to connect regular Type A cables to that socket.
Here is one:

I'll check the connectors when I get home for you.
edit: Just realised you said it terminates with a mini-B Male connector, that adapter above assumes a mini-B Female connector. Sorry.

I bought some adapters which look exactly the same (for charging my Blackberry Bold 9700) from eBay for 99p each - link.

For the Mini to USB A, how about this?

That's all I keep turning up when I search - it's a PITA :(

IF the other end were USB M, we'd be on to a winner - thanks :)

For that price and such a specialist little adapter, I would have no problem with that. Anything larger or more complicated would make me hesitant though.

Yep. For 99p each I gave it a punt and I can't complain. I got 3 for less than the price of the one you linked to and had them in about a week.
