USB 2.0 Type-A Receptacle with Board Lock
3A per Contact, 5000 Mating Cycles
The 5000 mating cycles are well above the 1500-cycle baseline of a commodity USB connector; the gold, GXT™ contact finish is the enabler, a proprietary high-durability plating that resists wear and corrosion through repeated matings. For a panel-mount port on test equipment or an industrial HMI, that cycle life means the connector outlasts the product's service life without contact resistance drift.
Through-Hole, Right-Angle, Unshielded
The through-hole, right-angle termination gives a robust solder joint to the PCB — the tails anchor in plated through-holes rather than relying on SMT pads alone. The unshielded shell means this receptacle does not provide a grounded metal envelope around the signal pair; for EMI-sensitive designs, a shielded USB connector or external ferrite is needed.
