The white insulation color is typical for unshielded USB receptacles in this series. The gold and GXT™ contact finish supports 1500 mating cycles, which is above the USB-IF minimum of 1500 for standard-duty USB-A receptacles. The GXT plating is a palladium-nickel alloy with a gold flash — it resists fretting corrosion better than straight gold in high-vibration or repeated-mate applications. Board lock features on the solder tabs anchor the connector against the insertion and withdrawal forces of a USB plug — without them, the right-angle solder joints would fatigue over repeated cycles. ## Unshielded — Plan the EMI Path This receptacle is unshielded — the shell is copper alloy but there is no grounding shield or ferrite built into the connector body. In a USB 2.0 application running at 480 Mbps, the unshielded path means the system relies on the cable's own braid and the PCB ground plane for EMI containment. For a metal enclosure, the panel cutout should contact the receptacle's shell tabs to bleed common-mode noise; in a plastic enclosure, expect higher radiated emissions unless external filtering is added. ## 1500 Mating Cycles — Field Replacement Duty The 1500-cycle rating is the mechanical endurance of the contact beams — after that, the normal force drops and contact resistance starts to rise. For a consumer device that sees one mate per day, that is about four years of service. For a field-serviceable industrial panel where a technician plugs and unplugs a laptop several times a week, the 1500-cycle rating is adequate but not generous. If the application demands higher durability, the 87520-1010BLF sibling carries 5000 cycles at the same 3 A rating and contact finish.","metaTitle":"FCI 87520-0010BLF USB-A Receptacle, 4 Pos, R/A, 3A","metaDescription":"FCI 87520-0010BLF USB 2.0 Type-A receptacle, 4 contacts, right-angle through-hole, gold/GXT plating, board lock, 1500 mating cycles, UL94 V-0, -55°C to 85°C.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"87520","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":"87520","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)","Contact Finish":"Gold, GXT™","Product Status":"Active","Specifications":"USB 2.0","Number of Ports":"1","Voltage - Rated":"-","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Insulation Color":"White","Mounting Feature":"Horizontal","Ingress Protection":"-","Number of Contacts":"4","Base Product Number":"87520","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":"$0.9500","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$0.95000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.80600","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$0.77320","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$0.75680","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.72390","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$0.65812","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.59230","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.52649","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$0.47714","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/6743ee870fa5568f43534dfd95cc452c.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/87520-0010BLF/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy the 87520-0010BLF and how do I get a price?","answer":"No stock-holding claim or fixed price is listed here."},{"question":"Does the 87520-0010BLF have a board lock feature?","answer":"Yes, the 87520-0010BLF includes board lock features on the solder tabs to anchor the connector against USB plug insertion and withdrawal forces."},{"question":"What is the difference between shielded and unshielded USB connectors?","answer":"A shielded USB connector has a metal shell that connects to ground to contain EMI; an unshielded connector like the 87520-0010BLF relies on the cable braid and PCB ground plane for EMI control.
