Arcade Enthusiasts Beware
While the size and threading on this sweet looking USB port looks a lot like a SuzoHapp arcade button, it is not. It is slightly smaller and may pose a couple of challenges for the unprepared.If you're looking to use this on 3/4 inch material, for example MDF on an arcade cabinet, it will not work without some easy adjustments. One challenge is that the threaded area is right at 3/4 inch (0.753 by my calipers). Meaning there won't be enough thread exposed for the nut to grab. The second is that it is slightly smaller in diameter than a standard button; so don't just drill a button hole and expect it to fit well.Working around these is pretty easy though for mounting on 3/4" MDF. First, drill a small 1/16" guide hole where you're going to be mounting the plug. You'll want this to line things up on both the outside and inside of the cabinet.On the interior of the cabinet, use a Forstner drill bit to create a cavity 1/4" deep; I wouldn't recommend any deeper. I suggest using a 2" bit unless you have very slight hands or happen to own a nut wrench, in which case I suggest a 1-3/4" bit.The plug thread doesn't go all the way up to its outer lip; this is to leave room for the flip cap. If you want it to sit flush like a button with the USB ports exposed, you'll also need to use a 1-1/8" Forstner bit to go just an 1/8" deep on the exterior side. If you want to use the cute little flip cap cover, skip this step.The diameter of the threaded area is ever-so-slightly larger than an inch (1.027). Just use a 1" bit to drill the final hole. Try it first, if it is too tight, just do a tiny drill-wiggle to loosen it up enough to get the threads through.Attached is a photo I took with the measurements I made with a set of calipers. These things are mass produced and molded, so your mileage my vary.

Installed in a 2014 Jeep Wrangler...works very well
I installed this in a 2014 Jeep Wrangler. I replaced the stock cigarette lighter. I kept the stock cigarette lighter, but kept it hidden behind the dash with a single USB plugin inserted into it.I connected one of the USB cables from the dual port USB to the radio USB port.I connected one of the USB cables from the dual port USB to the single port USB inserted in the stock cigarette lighter.Now I have:- One port of the dual port USB adapter used for Apple Carplay.- One port of the dual port USB adapter used exclusively for charging devices

Perfect for an Arcade Machine - dual 3.0 = 30mm drill bit
I purchased three different size connectors and I installed them into my arcade cabinet(You can see that in my photos)The biggest issue was, which drill bit do i buy? And what size drill bit do i need?But i figured it out and i'm giving you the info to make this easier.I bought a hole saw drill bit. Very low cost and it works good._____________Drill bit info and links:_____________1. Dual USB 3.030mm (1-3/16"):https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R7TJ78V_____________2. USB 3.0 / 3.5mm audio (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072KGMJ5N)30mm (1-3/16"):https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R7TJ78V_____________3. Dual HDMI (BATIGE was out of stock, so i ordered this one from overseas)38mm (1-1/2"):https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RB4LCZK_____________1. and 2. (USB3.0 ports) The usb ports fits slightly loose in the hole made. I locked it in place with the plastic nuts provided and it's locked into place now. Doesn't move.3. (HDMI ports). 38mm, i pushed it in all the way, it was 99.9% flush with the wood. I had to use a hammer to give it a little tap to get it 100% in. I didn't have to use the plastic nut because it was a tight fit but i put a plastic nut on it to make sure it doesn't move._____________NOTE.... IMPERFECT HOLES:_____________My holes were NOT perfect. They were close to perfect. Probably my fault. A tiny bit of the edges of the holes were chipped due to the hole saw. It might have been my fault. You have to try to drill perfectly straight in.THE FIX:My wood is black, i used a black sharpie marker to touch up any imperfections in the edges of the holes cut. And now it's fine. These adapters will slightly cover up imperfect holes but not fully. That's where the black marker came in handy._____________ALSO NOTE... Drill direction_____________The 38mm hole saw can be removed by hand, by turning it in one direction. So it has threads. If you drill in the wrong direction. You will strip the metal threads and you'll break the bit. (i know because i did that accidentally) i had to buy a 2nd 38mm drill bit that's when i realized the mistake. Once i changed the direction of the drill. It cut really well._____________ADDITIONAL INFO:_____________Steps i took....1. I tested the drill bit by making holes in foam core (photos included) you can probably test using cardboard boxes.2. I made my own template using, pen, paper & a ruler. Drew my dots on the paper with a pen, I then cut into the little dots using an exacto knife.3. The wood is black so....I used a white sharpie paint permanent maker to color a dot into those little holes i cut. Now i have perfectly aligned dots. And i can see where to aim the drill bit.Marker i used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E1NXVH64. I did the opposite side holes by simply flipping the template paper horizontal, so it's the reverse direction. Draw new dots with the marker.My template paper:I used the straight clean edges of printer paper to help me align things. I made the top and right side of the paper hit the top and right edges of the wood. When i flip the paper, now i do the same with the top left side of the wood.And you're DONE!_____________If anyone is wondering why i put 4 HDMI ports into the front of my arcade machine. It's for a 4 port bliss-box for all my retro controllers. Player 1,2,3,4

Nice Clean Custom Looking Installation
I used this to extend the USB cables from my Kenwood DDX9904s head unit to the console in my C6 Corvette. I removed the factory cigarette lighter and replaced it with this. The cables are thick and solid feeling and long enough to reach with room to spare. I can now connect my phone and thumb drive in the console and use Android Auto / Apple Car play and listen to music from the thumb drive. Looks like a factory install. The only thing I found unusual was the fact that the USB ports are oriented in opposite directions. This doesn't cause any problems so I didn't remove any stars.

doesn't support high speed charging
I have tried 2 of these from different vendors and they will work as standard amperage chargers and data transfer, but not for "Quick Charge" as my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 phone has. Connected the USB extender to both outputs of my car andriod radio "quick charge" output and regular output and nothing on Quick Charge output. Bypass this extender and everything works OK. Tried with both regular USB and 56K resistor type USB cables with no luck.

Clean look looks almost factory
I put a new radio in a 2011 Ford Ranger XLT. The radio had two female USB plugs on the back. One for Carplay/Android radio, the other for charging. Rather than have two loose cables hanging out of the bottom of the dash I installed this after finding it on Amazon. I used a dremel tool and cut a circle in the lower right of the center dash area. The plug fits right in. I then plugged the two USB cables into the Carplay and charging plugs on the back of the new radio and it all works. I have it setup so the lower receptacle is Carplay plug and the upper receptacle is just a charging port. Clean look. It works perfectly!
