USB-A receptacle for board-edge duty
It mounts surface-mount right-angle to the PCB, with the board lock feature providing additional solder-joint retention against the shear force of repeated cable insertions. The gold and GXT™ contact finish supports the 1500 mating-cycle durability rating, suited for field-serviceable equipment where the port sees regular connect/disconnect.
The 3 A per-contact rating is a per-pin limit; in a USB-A receptacle, the VBUS and GND pins carry the load, so the total power path is 3 A at the bus voltage.
USB 2.0 only — not for 3.x
The 4-contact layout lacks the SuperSpeed differential pairs (SSRX/SSTX) that USB 3.x requires. If the application needs USB 3.0 data rates, a 9-contact or 11-contact USB-A or USB-C connector is the correct choice. The pinout follows the standard USB 2.0 assignment: VBUS, D-, D+, GND.
