I'm a young engineer with extensive experience working on EAGLE. My interests include Power Supply design and LED solid state lighting, and I'm always impressed by a well designed PCB.

    Dear: Jorge

    I am building a rover with the dagu rover 5 kit and I am trying to build a PCB for it. In order to build a PCB for it the PCB needs a USB. I am using USB 1-1734028-1 and I can't figure out what CASE pin does. I know CASE stands for Computer Aided Software Engineering but I have no idea what to do with that pin in the USB can anybody help me?

    Sometimes, yes, but in this case (no pun intended) it doesn't stand for

    anything, it means "case".

     

    but I have no idea

    what to do with that pin in the USB can anybody help me?

     

    This is a USB-A plug, which (as you probably ought to know) is a four

    pin connector. The "case" pin is pin 5. It's not part of the USB

    circuit, but is connected to the metal body of the connector.

     

    You can connect it to chassis ground (if you have on) or leave it floating.
