It is the right-angle, reverse-mount SMT member of the 74626 series, with the port opening facing opposite the PCB edge — a layout choice for panels where the cable exits toward the board interior rather than the edge. The 3 A per-contact rating covers bus-powered USB devices; the shielded shell with board lock anchors the connector against the lever-out force of repeated cable insertions.
12000 mating cycles — the real differentiator
The headline spec here is 12000 mating cycles. That is an order of magnitude beyond the typical 1500 cycles on the 73725-11A0BLF and 73725-1110BLF siblings.
Board layout: reverse mount changes the panel cutout
The Surface Mount, Right Angle mounting combined with the Horizontal, Reverse Mount feature means the USB port is oriented so the cable exits toward the PCB interior, not the board edge. That is the opposite of a standard right-angle USB-B or USB-A where the port faces the edge.
