It integrates two USB ports in a single through-hole right-angle package, providing 8 contacts total. Each contact is rated for 1.5A, which covers standard USB 2.0 power delivery (500 mA per port) with headroom for devices that negotiate higher current up to the connector's limit. ## Shielded vs Unshielded — Choosing the Right Variant The 72309-7014BLF is unshielded, which keeps the BOM cost lower and avoids the need for a chassis ground connection on the shell. If your design has an enclosed metal chassis that provides its own EMI containment, or if the USB signals are short enough that radiated emissions are not a concern, this unshielded version is the straightforward pick. For designs that must pass radiated emissions testing or run high-speed USB 2.0 traces near noisy components, the shielded sibling 72309-7043BLF is the same connector in every other respect — same 8 contacts, same 1.5A rating, same 1500 mating cycles, same board lock — but adds a copper alloy shell that can be tied to PCB ground. The only decision between them is whether the application needs the shield. Both are active, RoHS compliant, and sourced through the same channel.","metaTitle":"FCI 72309-7014BLF USB-A Stacked Receptacle, 8 Contacts, 1.5A","metaDescription":"72309-7014BLF USB 2.0 Type-A stacked receptacle, 8 contacts, 1.5A per contact, 1500 mating cycles, through-hole right-angle, board lock, UL94 V-0.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"72309","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":"72309","Package":"Tube","Features":"Board Lock","Shielding":"Unshielded","Termination":"Solder","Mating Cycles":"1500","Mounting Type":"Through Hole, Right Angle","Connector Type":"USB-A (USB TYPE-A), Stacked","Contact Finish":"Gold, GXT™","Product Status":"Active","Specifications":"USB 2.0","Number of Ports":"2","Voltage - Rated":"-","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Insulation Color":"Black","Mounting Feature":"Horizontal","Ingress Protection":"-","Number of Contacts":"8","Base Product Number":"72309","Current Rating (Amps)":"1.5A per Contact","Operating Temperature":"-55°C~85°C","Shell/Shielding Material":"Copper Alloy","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$2.6500","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$2.65000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$2.40200","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$2.27520","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$2.22220","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$2.11640","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$1.85180","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$1.79890","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$1.53436","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$1.42854","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/d0d2efcd597a5be871958ad7567a2d7c.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy 72309-7014BLF available via RFQ confirmation?","answer":"Submit an RFQ for your target quantity and lead time."},{"question":"What is the mating cycle rating of 72309-7014BLF?","answer":"The connector is rated for 1500 mating cycles.
