It is the plug (free-hanging, in-line) half of the mating pair, designed for cable assemblies that need to deliver USB signal plus a higher-current supply line without a second connector. The 8 contacts split between the standard USB-A pinout and additional power contacts, with a dual current rating of 1.5A and 3A per circuit — the 3A contacts are sized for the power rail, the 1.5A contacts for the USB data lines. ## What the Dual Current Rating Means for Your Harness The 1.5A and 3A per-contact rating is not a range — it reflects two contact groups within the same connector. The USB 2.0 signal contacts (pins 1-4 in the standard A layout) are rated 1.5A, while the additional power contacts carry the 3A rating. This means the power contacts can handle a combined 6A (2 contacts × 3A) for the device load, while the USB data lines stay within their 1.5A limit. The 12V voltage rating matches standard USB power delivery; do not use this connector on a 24V or 48V bus. This is a solder-termination plug — the cable wires are soldered directly to the contact tails, not crimped. The free-hanging (in-line) mount means it terminates to a cable, not a PCB. The mating half is a USB-A combo receptacle, such as the Amphenol FCI 55917-501LF, which is a horizontal PCB-mount receptacle with board locks and the same 8-contact, USB 2.0 + power layout. The steel/stainless shield provides EMI containment for the USB data pair. ## How It Compares to 74233-100LF and 74233-101LF The 74233-102LF shares the same 8-contact, USB 2.0 + power combo design, gold GXT™ plating, 1500 mating cycles, and teal housing as the 74233-100LF and 74233-101LF. All three are active, tray-packaged plugs with a 1.5A current rating. The difference is not in the spec table — the -100LF and -101LF variants may carry minor dimensional or packaging differences not captured in the available data. For a BOM line, the 74233-102LF is the order code to use; if the -100LF or -101LF is on your BOM, confirm the exact variant against the mating receptacle and cable assembly drawing before substituting.","metaTitle":"Amphenol FCI 74233-102LF USB-A + Power Combo Plug","metaDescription":"Amphenol FCI 74233-102LF USB 2.0 combo plug with 8 contacts, rated 1.5A/3A at 12V.
