Combo USB and Power in One Housing
The Amphenol 55917-001LF is a right-angle through-hole receptacle that integrates a standard USB-A (USB TYPE-A) port with additional power contacts in a single shielded shell. It carries 8 contacts total — the four USB 2.0 signal pins plus four power contacts — all with gold GXT™ plating for corrosion resistance over repeated matings. The 5 A per-contact rating at 24 V means this connector can handle charging or auxiliary power alongside USB data, not just low-current signal lines. The board lock on the solder tails anchors the connector against cable strain during plug/unplug cycles, and the copper-alloy shield provides EMI containment for the USB differential pair.
1500 Mating Cycles — Built for Frequent Reconnect
Board Lock and Shield — Mechanical and EMI Protection
The board lock feature — a pair of through-hole retention legs — takes shear forces off the signal solder joints when the cable is tugged, preventing lifted pads.
