Stacked Dual-Port USB-A for Panel-Mount Designs
The Amphenol FCI 72309-3045RPLF is a stacked USB-A (USB TYPE-A) receptacle that packs two USB 2.0 ports into a single through-hole, right-angle footprint. It carries 8 contacts total — four per port — and is rated 1.5A per contact.
1500 Mating Cycles and Gold Plating for Frequent Plug/Unplug Duty
The 1500-cycle rating matches the USB-IF minimum for standard USB connectors, so it's not a heavy-duty industrial round-connector replacement, but it's the right call for a panel-mount USB port that gets used daily.
Board Lock and Right-Angle Mounting for PCB Retention
The through-hole, right-angle mounting orientation places the USB ports parallel to the PCB — typical for a bracket-mounted or panel-mounted application where the connector face is accessible from the edge of the board. The board lock feature consists of metal retention tabs that solder into plated through-holes, providing mechanical strength against the lever force of a USB cable being inserted or removed. Without the board lock, the solder joints on the signal pins would bear the full shear load, which can crack over time in a high-vibration or frequent-use scenario.
The connector is RoHS compliant.
