USB 2.0 micro B Receptacle for SMD Assembly
It carries a 1.8A current rating per contact at 100VAC, with gold-plated contacts rated for 10,000 mating cycles — well above the typical 5,000-cycle spec for consumer-grade micro USB, making it a fit for devices that see frequent plug-unplug duty like handheld terminals or test equipment. The shielded steel shell with solder retention features keeps the connector anchored during reflow and provides a ground path for EMI containment.
Board Layout and Assembly Considerations
This is a right-angle SMD part, so the PCB footprint must account for the solder pads on the bottom side and the through-hole solder retention tabs that anchor the shell. The horizontal mounting feature means the USB plug inserts parallel to the board surface — verify the enclosure cutout height clears the mated plug body. The shielded shell is steel, stainless, which provides good EMI rejection but requires a solid ground plane connection on the PCB for best performance.
Durability and Environmental Range
Operating temperature spans -30°C to 80°C, which covers indoor consumer electronics and some sheltered industrial environments, but not extended outdoor exposure without additional sealing.
