Current handling is 3A per contact, typical for USB 2.0 power delivery.
Obsolete — What That Means for Sourcing
The 87520-0110BLF is listed as Obsolete. That means the only channel to source it is the surplus and broker market — independent distributors who hold NOS (new old stock) or pull from overstock. We source against an RFQ: submit your BOM quantity and we'll check the open market across our distributor network.
1500 Mating Cycles — What That Tells You
1500 mating cycles is well above the 500-cycle baseline for a standard USB-A connector. The Gold GXT plating is what buys that extra life — it's a hard gold that resists wear-through on the contact mating surface. For a panel-mount or front-accessible USB port that gets daily plug/unplug, this connector will outlast a commodity part. The board lock helps too: it anchors the shell to the PCB so the mating force doesn't fatigue the solder joints over those cycles.
The board lock is a pair of additional through-hole legs on the shell that get soldered as well — they take the mechanical strain from cable insertion and extraction so the signal pins don't bear it. The shielded shell is copper alloy, which also ties into the board ground plane through those lock legs. No stack height to calculate; the port face is at the board edge.
