USB-A Receptacle for Panel-Mount I/O
It sits in the 73725 series as a single-port, shielded connector with board locks that anchor it during solder and resist shear from cable insertion and removal.
What the 2.5 A and USB 2.0 Ratings Mean
Rated 2.5 A per contact, the 73725-1180RLF handles standard USB power delivery for charging and data devices. The USB 2.0 specification limits the data rate to 480 Mbps — this connector will not carry USB 3.0 SuperSpeed signals, which require additional differential pairs. The 4-contact layout matches the standard USB-A pinout (VBUS, D-, D+, GND).
Board Lock and Shielded Shell
The copper alloy shielded shell provides EMI containment — necessary for passing radiated emissions limits in consumer and industrial electronics.
