&lt;p&gt;J3&amp;#39;s USB D+ and D- lines are unconnected on the nPM1300 EK and are not exposed on any header so there is no supported plug-in way to access them. For charging and USB mass storage through one connector, a custom board could route VBUS to the nPM1300 and D+/ D- to a USB-capable MCU. Please take a look at the following EK schematic and layout files here:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-hardware/nPM1300-EK/Development-resources"&gt;https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-hardware/nPM1300-EK/Development-resources&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let us know if you have any further questions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best Regards,&lt;/p&gt;
