This is the board-side receptacle that mates with a standard USB-A cable plug. ## Current Ratings and Contact Assignment The 484050004 carries a dual current rating: 0.25 A per contact on the signal pins and 1.8 A per contact on the power/VBUS pins. This is standard for USB 3.x receptacles — the four SuperSpeed differential pairs (eight signal contacts) are rated for signal-level current, while the single VBUS pin handles the higher power delivery. The 1.8 A rating on the power contact is sufficient for USB 3.0 bus-powered devices drawing up to 900 mA, with headroom for inrush. The 0.25 A signal rating is not a limitation for digital data lines; it reflects the contact's capacity in a continuous DC scenario, not the transient signal current. Through-hole solder termination with a right-angle body and horizontal mounting feature. The board lock consists of two through-hole retention pins that solder into the PCB alongside the signal and power pins, distributing extraction force across the board. The blue insulation color is a visual identifier for the USB 3.0/3.1/3.2 Gen 1 standard (USB 2.0 receptacles are typically black or white).","metaTitle":"Molex 484050004 USB-A Receptacle, 9 Pos, Shielded","metaDescription":"Molex 484050004 USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A receptacle, 9 contacts, right-angle through-hole, shielded with board lock.
