USB 2.0 Type-A Receptacle for Board-Edge Mounting
The FCI 87583-0010RHLF is a 4-contact USB-A (USB TYPE-A) receptacle from the 87583 series, designed for USB 2.0 applications. It mounts via Surface Mount, Right Angle orientation, placing the port horizontal to the PCB for board-edge cable access. The 3 A per contact rating covers the standard USB power delivery for peripherals and charging. The gold, GXT™ contact finish and 1500 mating cycles make this a durable choice for repeated connect/disconnect duty in equipment that sees field service or frequent peripheral swaps.
Board Lock and SMT Assembly
The board lock provides mechanical retention during the solder reflow process, preventing the connector from floating or skewing. After assembly, it adds vibration resistance, which is important for the shear force a USB cable exerts on the port during connection and disconnection. The solder tails are designed for reflow soldering; the board lock keeps the connector flush against the board during the process.
