If you’d like to connect a USB C connector to your favorite garment to make a fun wearable tech project, then try out the array of sewable connectors we have. This is a Type C connector that is oriented in a horizontal position to the sewable base it’s housed on with red and black wires running through the bottom.
The jack is molded into a rubber that can be hand or machine-sewed through, then connect to the power wires on the end, red is positive/power and black is negative/ground. You can also glue / epoxy / staple it to a flat surface if desired.
Please Note: Like many USB C cable adapters we’ve found, the CC lines are not tied to anything and so this will not respond properly to USB PD requests. If you want to use it to charge a device, make sure your power adapter will default to 5V output if CC is not connected. Macs, specifically, are picky about requiring CC lines.
If you’d like to connect a Micro-B connector to your favorite garment to make a fun wearable tech project, then try out the array of sewable connectors we have. This is a Micro-B connector that is oriented in a horizontal position to the sewable base it’s housed on with red and black wires running through the bottom.
The jack is molded into a rubber that can be hand or machine-sewed through, then connect to the power wires on the end, red is positive/power and black is negative/ground. You can also glue / epoxy / staple it to a flat surface if desired.
No data lines are connected, this is intended for charging batteries or powering a wearable project from a USB power pack.
If you’d like to connect a DC Jack to your favorite garment to make a fun wearable tech project, then try out the array of sewable connectors we have. This is a 5.5/2.1mm DC Jack that is oriented in a horizontal position to the sewable base it’s house on with red and black wires running through the bottom.
The jack is molded into a rubber that can be hand or machine-sewed through, then connect to the power wires on the end, red is positive/power and black is negative/ground. You can also glue / epoxy / staple it to a flat surface if desired.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
