USB-A and Power Combo — What This Connector Does
The Amphenol FCI 55917-000LF is an 8-contact USB-A and power combo receptacle — not a standard USB jack. Four contacts carry USB 2.0 signal lines, and the remaining four handle power delivery at 5A per contact, rated 24V. That hybrid layout means it serves a single-port panel interface that both charges and transfers data, common in kiosks, POS terminals, and industrial HMI panels.
Obsolete — Sourcing Reality and Cross-Reference
The 55917-000LF is listed as Obsolete. For a line-down replacement, the closest functional cross is the 55917-001LF — same 8-contact USB-A + power combo footprint, same right-angle through-hole mounting, same board lock and shielding. The difference is typically a minor plating or packaging variant; verify the exact contact finish and temperature range against your BOM before committing.
The shielded shell (copper alloy) grounds through the PCB mounting holes. 1500 mating cycles with the gold GXT™ contact finish means it survives field reconnects without wearing through the plating.
UL94 V-0 housing. RoHS compliant per the LF suffix.
