It packs two USB ports into a single right-angle, through-hole package — 8 contacts total, 4 per port — rated at 1.5A per contact. The shell is shielded with a copper alloy body.
The 1.5A per contact rating is per-pin, not per-port — each of the 4 contacts in a USB-A port carries 1.5A, so a single port can deliver up to 6A total across VBUS and ground pins, well within USB 2.0's 500mA-900mA standard. The real headroom here is for charging ports or non-standard power delivery where the designer needs margin above the USB base spec. The 1500 mating cycles mean the gold GXT™ plating is thick enough to survive years of field reconnects without the contact resistance creeping up — a common failure point on cheaper tin-plated USB jacks that wear through after a few hundred cycles. The right-angle through-hole mounting with board lock means the connector stays put during wave solder and resists the lever force from a cable plugged into the top port.
