The connector is part of the 55917 series, designed for applications where a device needs both USB connectivity and a dedicated power feed through one panel opening — common in industrial HMIs, point-of-sale terminals, kiosks, and embedded systems where a separate barrel jack would waste space. ## Key Features That Drive Fit A board lock on each mounting post anchors the connector during soldering and resists the shear force from repeated plug insertions — important for a combo connector that sees both USB and power plug cycles. The fully shielded shell in copper alloy contains USB 2.0 signal EMI and provides a ground return path through the chassis. Gold, GXT™ contact finish on the mating surfaces delivers the corrosion resistance and wear life needed for the rated 1500 mating cycles — well above a typical consumer USB connector, which suggests this part is specified for field-serviceable equipment where the cable gets disconnected regularly. The 3 A current rating applies per contact, but the power contacts are the load-bearing ones — the USB-A data contacts carry negligible current. At 24 V, the connector covers standard industrial DC rails (24 V nominal) and consumer USB bus power (5 V) with ample margin. The red insulator is a visual key — it distinguishes this variant from the black (55917-600LF) and teal (55917-501LF) versions in the same series, which carry different voltage ratings (12 V) or current ratings (5 A for 55917-001LF). The 55917-001LF is the closest functional peer — same USB-A + power combo layout, same 8 contacts, same 1500 mating cycles, same board lock and shielding. The key difference is the current rating: 5 A for the -001LF versus 3 A for the -601LF. Both are rated 24 V and use gold GXT™ contacts. The -001LF ships in a tube, while the -601LF comes in bulk. The -601LF is the correct choice when the power draw stays under 3 A per contact and the bulk packaging fits your assembly line better. The USB 2.0 specification means it is backward-compatible with USB 1.x and 2.0 devices but will not negotiate USB 3.x SuperSpeed rates — the connector physically accepts a USB 3.x plug, but the data rate is limited to 480 Mbps by the 2.0 spec.","metaTitle":"Amphenol FCI 55917-601LF USB-A + Power Combo Receptacle, 3A","metaDescription":"Amphenol FCI 55917-601LF USB 2.0 Type-A and power combo receptacle, 8 contacts, 3A, 24V, shielded, board lock, RoHS, active production — sourced per RFQ.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"55917","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"RoHS Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["USB, Type-C & HDMI Connectors","USB / HDMI Cable Assemblies"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Amphenol ICC (FCI)","Gender":"Receptacle","Series":"55917","Package":"Bulk","Features":"Board Lock","Shielding":"Shielded","Termination":"Solder","Mating Cycles":"1500","Mounting Type":"Through Hole, Right Angle","Connector Type":"USB-A (USB TYPE-A) and Power, Combo","Contact Finish":"Gold, GXT™","Product Status":"Active","Specifications":"USB 2.0","Number of Ports":"1","Voltage - Rated":"24V","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Insulation Color":"Red","Mounting Feature":"Horizontal","Ingress Protection":"-","Number of Contacts":"8","Base Product Number":"55917","Current Rating (Amps)":"3A","Operating Temperature":"-55°C~85°C","Shell/Shielding Material":"Copper Alloy","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$2.2100","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$2.21000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.92600","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$1.84360","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$1.80280","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$1.72080","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$1.55688","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$1.43398","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$1.22912","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$1.14718","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/fdb861e900790c8d0acbb7bfdb324ed3.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/55917-601LF/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy 55917-601LF and what is the lead time?","answer":"Submit an RFQ for your quantity and we will return pricing and delivery."},{"question":"Is 55917-601LF RoHS compliant?","answer":"Yes, the 55917-601LF is listed as RoHS Compliant."},{"question":"Can 55917-601LF replace 55917-001LF?","answer":"The 55917-601LF and 55917-001LF share the same footprint, same 8-contact USB-A + power layout, same 1500 mating cycles, and same 24 V rating.
