This is the standard upstream-facing USB-A port found on host devices, designed for board-edge mounting where the cable plug inserts parallel to the PCB. The 9-contact layout supports the SuperSpeed differential pair (SSRX+/-, SSTX+/-) plus the legacy USB 2.0 D+/D- and power/ground lines, all in a single shielded shell. ## Dual Current Rating and Contact Assignment The current rating splits into two tiers: 1.8 A per contact on the power delivery pins (VBUS and GND), and 0.25 A per contact on the signal lines. This is typical for USB 3.x receptacles — the higher-current pins handle device charging and bus power, while the signal contacts carry only data. The 30 VAC/DC rating covers the USB bus voltage comfortably. Gold plating on the contacts ensures consistent low resistance over the rated 5000 mating cycles, which is a high-durability spec for a USB port — suited for test equipment, industrial panels, or public kiosk interfaces where the connector sees frequent plug/unplug cycles. ## Shielded Shell with Board Lock for Mechanical Retention The steel/stainless steel shell provides full EMI shielding. The tray packaging suits automated pick-and-place assembly for the through-hole solder process.","metaTitle":"Molex 484040003 USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A Receptacle, 9 Pos R/A","metaDescription":"Molex 484040003 USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A receptacle, 9 contacts, right-angle through-hole, shielded, board lock, 5000 mating cycles.

The primary difference is the shell plating and board lock configuration — the 484040003 uses a steel/stainless steel shell with board lock features, while the 484040001 may use a different shell material or omit the board lock.
