Dual-port USB-A receptacle for board-edge mounting
The through-hole right-angle orientation with a horizontal mounting feature places both USB ports parallel to the PCB edge — the standard layout for rear-panel I/O on motherboards, docking stations, and industrial control panels. Rated 1.5A per contact, the current capacity covers the USB 2.0 power delivery envelope (5V, 500mA per port) with margin for inrush.
Board lock and through-hole anchor
Without the board lock, the solder joints alone would carry the full insertion load — over 1500 cycles that adds up to fatigue risk. The through-hole termination gives a stronger pull-out force than an SMT-only foot, which matters when the connector is mounted at the board edge where leverage from the cable is highest.
Operating range and environmental tolerance
The unshielded shell means this variant relies on the system-level chassis ground for EMI containment — not a problem for USB 2.0 at 480 Mbps inside a metal enclosure, but worth noting if the application routes the connector through a plastic panel without a ground plane.
No direct replacement or equivalent cross-reference is documented by the manufacturer, so the BOM line should match this exact order code.
