This replacement USB Type‑C charging port flex cable is designed specifically for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 10.5 models SM‑X200 and SM‑X205. It serves as a direct swap for the original charger dock board, allowing users to restore full charging functionality when the original port becomes worn, loose, or non‑responsive. The component integrates the power management circuitry and the USB‑C receptacle on a single flexible printed circuit board, ensuring a precise fit within the tablet’s chassis.

The flex cable is constructed from a durable polyimide substrate with reinforced solder joints at the connector ends, which helps maintain electrical continuity during repeated plugging and unplugging. The Type‑C port features a corrosion‑resistant metal shell and gold‑plated contacts, promoting reliable power transmission and reducing signal degradation over time. Each unit undergoes basic electrical testing to verify continuity and correct pin alignment before packaging, consistent with standard aftermarket quality control practices.

Installation requires careful disassembly of the tablet, including removal of the rear cover and mid‑frame assembly. The flex cable is secured by miniature screws and a pressure‑fit connector on the mainboard. Once properly seated, the part delivers stable charging performance without interference with other functions such as data sync or display output.

The flexible nature of the cable allows it to conform to the limited internal space, minimizing stress during reassembly. At an affordable price point, this replacement part offers a practical solution for extending the usable life of a Galaxy Tab A8. It is suitable for users who prefer self‑repair or for service technicians seeking a cost‑effective spare.

The design prioritizes compatibility and basic durability, supporting standard USB‑C charging protocols up to the device’s rated input specifications. While aftermarket components may vary slightly in finish compared to original parts, this flex cable aligns with the mechanical dimensions required for a secure installation.
