s95 multiway connector

This connector (see here) lets me plug a gentWIRE-USB (to trigger the shutter) and a video plug (from the video downlink transmitter) into the 11-pin USB port of the s95.

 

As supplied, the plug will not fit into the s95 - one side does not have the chamfered corner of a normal USB plug. I filed the metal away on the sides to make it fit (taking care not to file too much of the plastic underneath). You can see the original shape of the plug in the product picture - the right-hand side is straight, not chamfered like the left-hand side.

 

Note that to enable video output, it's necessary to open the upper part and solder a connection between USB pins 6 and 11 (see here and here) but that's really easy to do.
