USB 3.2 Gen 1 Receptacle — 9 Contacts, Right-Angle, Board Lock
The Amphenol FCI 10117835-002LF is a USB-A (USB TYPE-A) receptacle supporting USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1 or Superspeed USB 3.0) data rates. With 9 contacts, it carries the full complement of signal and power pins for SuperSpeed operation — the standard USB 2.0 four contacts plus five additional SuperSpeed pairs. An integrated board lock anchors the connector during soldering and resists shear forces from repeated cable insertion and extraction.
Mixed Current Rating — 0.25A and 1.8A Per Contact
The current rating is split: 0.25A on the signal contacts and 1.8A on the power contacts. This is typical for USB 3.x receptacles — the SuperSpeed differential pairs carry low-current data lines, while the VBUS and GND contacts handle the higher power delivery. For a board layout engineer, this means the power traces feeding pins 1 (VBUS) and 4 (GND) need wider copper to handle 1.8A without voltage drop, while the signal traces can route at minimum width. The 30VAC rating covers the standard USB bus voltage of 5 VDC with margin.
Obsolete — Sourcing via RFQ Only
The 10117835-002LF is officially obsolete. No replacement or cross-reference is documented in the evidence. If you need a form-fit-function alternative, the closest starting point is another Amphenol FCI USB 3.2 Gen 1 right-angle receptacle with 9 contacts and board lock, but the exact footprint and shell dimensions must be verified against the original PCB layout.
Gold-Plated Contacts and UL 94 V-0 Housing
The shell uses copper alloy and steel — the copper alloy provides spring retention for the mating plug, while the steel adds rigidity for the panel-mount flange.
