2 connectors and a 0.01c PCB for the price of a complete working charger.

If you need this, it's not the charger that's broken but the device you're plugging into it.

Yes, the point is it's extremely expensive for what it is.

		That's the cost of Western retail for you! $0.50 to get it manufactured somewhere in Asia, $4.00 to get it shipped to the US, tested, packaged, put on a shelf, retrieved for your order, and put in a box to ship your way. You're not paying for the PCB, you are paying for an American warehouse worker to do their job without having to pee in a bottle and walk around dead coworkers.

		Yeah, I once had similar (with a different purpose, but very alike) boards of my own design produced and paid $22 total for 5 assembled boards, including shipping from China to Europe and all taxes/customs. Unlike this one it had SuperSpeed passthrough too, so you could probably go cheaper :)

You can get five of them for less than $4 total here:

		Including a cover, which is $2 extra here.
