Hi  
Is this product suitable to replace a Blue yeti mini USB B female connector: [Molex 0548190589](https://www.digikey.com.au/en/products/detail/molex/0548190589/2421963?utm_adgroup=&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=PMax%20Shopping_High%20Performing%20Products&utm_term=&utm_id=go_cmp-20001736977_adg-_ad-__dev-c_ext-_prd-2421963_sig-CjwKCAiAxKy5BhBbEiwAYiW--6ni1WU0uGp5tvG_PNz23XvqugcwE_hpl1ZOsJcyeU8pnhsULgziSxoCWPcQAvD_BwE&productid=2421963&utm_content=&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAxKy5BhBbEiwAYiW--6ni1WU0uGp5tvG_PNz23XvqugcwE_hpl1ZOsJcyeU8pnhsULgziSxoCWPcQAvD_BwE)

It looks very similar to this: [https://youtu.be/Y2sNQonIPSs?si=zQnJxLifzTdvTwcX&t=299](https://youtu.be/Y2sNQonIPSs?si=zQnJxLifzTdvTwcX&t=299)

Welcome to the Technical Forum. It is a Mini USB female connector. The only way you can verify if this will work is to actually do measurements. There is no easy way to do this other than the compare using the Molex data sheet and the part you have in your hand.

Hi [g11](https://forum.digikey.com/u/g11),

Based on that video, I’d say no to the Molex 0548190589. It has surface mount contact pins, as seen in [the diagram below](https://www.molex.com/content/dam/molex/molex-dot-com/products/automated/en-us/salesdrawingpdf/548/54819/548190589_sd.pdf). In the video, it shows through-hole contacts.

The only _currently in-stock_ part I have found which appears to have the same footprint with four stabilizing mounting posts and through-hole pins is the now-obsolete Omron [XM7D-0512](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/omron-electronics-inc-emc-div/XM7D-0512/4695531).
