It looks like this.
Sorry if wrong section. I'm not really sure where to put this..

Have you checked your local Radio Shack? Or you can search online, places like Mousse Electronics have all kinds of connectors. Hope this helps you.

The all powerful ebay has it all with free shipping from china

If you don't need it as an SMD part to solder it onto a PCB, the easier task could be to get a cable, cut it through, and connect the wires (to wherever they are supposed to connect to).

I think you can't..maybe in electronic store you can

You might try digikey:

It's a Jig for a bricked Samsung Captivate. I only had one cord so I didn't want to cut into it.
But thank you all for your suggestions! I ordered just a normal cable and I'm going to cut away at the plastic.

The best source for cheap cables is monoprice.com
You can get micro USB cables in a variety of lengths for about a dollar each. Whenever I order from them, I just buy an assortment of cables that may come in handy (USB, hdmi, audio, etc) because shipping is more expensive than the cables themselves.

If that's a universal charger with movable connectors, don't get that. It wont charge your battery to 100% and might mess up your connectors on your battery.

He's asking for a charging wich charges your phone, AND spare battery at the same time.
Kidigi has that kind of charger, and also other companies offer one, just copies of this one

both chargers above have an extra USB port...so you can connect a USB cable from the charger to the phone while a spare battery is charging..

Yeah, this is exactly what I was looking for. Do you know if it works with a slim case on?

There is also this one from Kidigi as well.
It features dock/sync mode button, audio out via usb.
It has a bit less physical support but both Jeurum_92's suggestion and this one have a removable insert to help accommodate a case. It's also a bit more $$$.

Yes, it has an insert wich you can remove so if you have a slim case it will fit

Looks like you need to use a USB Mini cable and not the cable it's supplied with to get both to charge at the same time though.

External batteries/Portable chargers

I'm looking to buy one for when i'm traveling to charge my phone/tablet and looking for suggestions on brands/models/etc. Probably don't really want to spend much more than ~$50 on one. Only requirements are that it isn't too big and bulky to not fit well in a laptop travel case. And the more mAh the better obviously. Thanks.

There are a lot of brands out there. Morphie seems to be one of people's top picks - probably because it looks super nice and marketed well. I personally have never own one and think it's a bit on the pricey side. I have a Ravpower one with 10,400 mah which was mentioned in this thread if you wanna take a look. Works great. Not heavy at all which was surprising. And can charge my nexus 7 about 2 times before i need to charge again. Think Ravpower have smaller ones too, but 10,400 might be their largest capacity charger.
These portable power chargers seems to be everywhere now. You can probably find some in stores too. Think I saw a low mAh one at Lowes the other day by either Duracell or Energizer, but these might not be best for heavy charging.

I just ordered 2 antec powerup 3000's apparently they have Panasonic batteries. I will report back! :beer:

Any reviews on this QI charger ?

I was looking into this type of charger does anybody use one?
I was also wondering if it would work with a quicksand case ?

Yup, I've got that one in black. Works just fine with my Quicksand cases. Just to let you know, it only ships with the charger, no micro USB cable, and no power adapter. Most included USB cables that ship with Qi chargers are crap anyway. So I suggest if you get a Qi charger with a cable, that you replace it with a better one anyway.
I'll have a review up with a comparison between several of my Qi chargers some time next week.

Is it worth the price ? I was going to use the stock USB cord anyways
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

In terms of performance it's good. Works just like any other 1A output Qi charger I've got. As long as a Qi charger receives sufficient input power (good AC adapter, good cable) and has 1A output, all Qi chargers basically perform relatively the same.
Price wise, you can't really get much lower than that. The one you posted, I got in black for $12.00 including shipping, but you can't really get it at that price anymore. Cost wise though, that's still a pretty good deal.
It is one of the larger Qi chargers I've got though. So keep that in mind. I use this one by my bed as it's easier to make sure I've placed the phone centred on a larger pad when I'm half asleep.
Here's a size comparison with the phone on it.

Thank you for all the input. Do you think the stock USB cord will be sufficient?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

Yeah, the stock cord is a great cable. I use that USB cable with this charger as well. It's connected to a 2A AC adapter, into a powerbar by my bed.

Could Galaxy S3 use Qi wireless charger?

Anybody use it, please give some suggestion.

I use it on my S3. The charging speed is not that fast compared to USB, which I think is well-known. The back cover gets a bit warm also, and I have an Otterbox Commuter case as well, which gets a little bit warm also. It charges just fine through the case.
This is the one that I ordered, as it came with the charging pad and receiver for the phone.

Hope this helps!

I have one of the first gen receiver pads and it charges faster than USB but slower than AC.
check ebay. use search terms like "i9300 qi reciever"
just get the reciever pad.
the best charger pad imo is the nokia ones. they're regularly on sale from 20 -25 bucks for the most part. just do some searching online.

Any Wireless charging system or standard that has the two contacts to fit the contacts that are in the Battery compartment and fits will work....A wireless Standard isn't built into the phones, just the Transmitter and Receiver Coils....

QI wireless charging is nice... However I notice the connector from the QI receiver will interfere with the smart cover slot anyone?

look what i found^^

You can find a quality charger kit on ebay... just to be safe... look for "Top Rated Seller" and someone with high feedback score to be safe..

oh, and because i'm such a sweetheart:

18 bucks for a really decent charging pad. I have 2. one for my bed side and one on my desk.

This one works great with mine and I have the lifeproof case on it.

Of course you can not break yusb port, only one drawback - the phone longer charged
