USB 2.0 Type-B Receptacle for Panel-Mount and Cable Applications
It's the standard downstream port on a printer, scanner, or hub — the square end that accepts the flat USB cable plug. The shielded shell and integral board lock keep the connector anchored to the PCB and the ground path continuous, even when the cable gets yanked at an angle.
What the 1 A Rating and 1500 Mating Cycles Mean for Your Build
The 1500 mating cycles suit frequent-use applications.
Right-Angle Mount with Board Lock and Shield
The board lock — two metal tabs that solder into plated through-holes — takes the mechanical strain off the signal pins during cable insertion and removal. The shielded shell, made from copper alloy, ties into the board ground plane to contain radiated emissions and protect against ESD.
