⌚🔌 Fitbit USB Charging Adapter • 5V Power Cable
(USB Type‑A to Proprietary Dock/Clip • Model‑Specific Variants)
Fitbit trackers and watches all charge via USB Type‑A, but the device‑side connector varies widely. Below are the definitive connector categories and their associated models.
🟦 Capsule Dock (Insert Style)
- Fitbit Flex → capsule slides into a small USB dock
- Fitbit Flex 2 → slimmer capsule dock, not interchangeable with original Flex
Use case: Capsule removed from band and inserted into dock.
Note: Flex and Flex 2 docks are not cross‑compatible.
🟦 Clip‑Style Cradle (Early 2‑pin / 3‑pin)
- Fitbit Charge (1st gen) → 2‑pin clip cradle
- Fitbit Charge HR → 3‑pin clip cradle
- Fitbit Surge → wide clip cradle with 3 pogo pins
- Fitbit Alta / Fitbit Ace (kids) → spring‑loaded clip cradle with 3 pogo pins
- Fitbit Alta HR → different clip cradle, not interchangeable with Alta/Ace
Use case: Tracker body clips into cradle; pogo pins align with charging contacts.
Note: Each cradle is model‑specific — Alta ≠ Alta HR.
🟦 Wide Spring‑Loaded Cradle (4‑pin)

Use case: Larger clamp‑style cradle that grips the tracker body.
Note: Unique to Charge 2 — not compatible with earlier or later Charges.
🟦 Slim Clip Cradle (Shared Design)

- Fitbit Ionic (earlier magnetic dock, unique — not cross‑compatible with Charge 5/6/Luxe)
