It sits in the ZX series as a standard-density micro USB connector built for repeated field mating — the 10000-cycle rating is an order of magnitude above typical consumer micro USB parts, which usually spec 5000 to 10000 cycles. The 1.8 A per-contact rating covers USB 2.0 charging current for peripherals, and the 30 VAC rating handles the bus voltage comfortably. ## Mounting and PCB Fit This is a through-hole vertical mount — the connector sits perpendicular to the board, with solder tails that go through plated holes. No SMT reflow; it runs through a wave or selective solder process. The steel, stainless shell provides EMI shielding for the USB 2.0 signal pair. ## Temperature Range and Flammability ## Functional Alternate: ZX80-B-5S(30) The ZX80-B-5S(30) is a direct functional alternate — same 5 contacts, same 1.8 A and 30 VAC ratings, same 10000-cycle gold contacts, same USB 2.0 micro B plug form factor. The difference is mounting: the ZX80 adds a flange for panel-mount retention, while the ZX20-B-5S-UNIT(30) is through-hole only. If your design needs the connector bolted to a panel face rather than relying solely on solder joints for mechanical retention, the ZX80-B-5S(30) is the pick. For a standard PCB-mount micro B, the ZX20-B-5S-UNIT(30) is the correct BOM line.","metaTitle":"Hirose ZX20-B-5S-UNIT(30) USB 2.0 Micro B Plug, 5 Contacts","metaDescription":"Hirose ZX20-B-5S-UNIT(30) USB 2.0 micro B plug, 5 contacts, 1.8 A, 30 VAC, through-hole vertical mount, gold contacts, 10000 mating cycles.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"ZX","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["USB, Type-C & HDMI Connectors","USB / HDMI Cable Assemblies"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Hirose Electric Co Ltd","Gender":"Plug","Series":"ZX","Package":"Bag","Features":"-","Shielding":"-","Termination":"Solder","Mating Cycles":"10000","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Connector Type":"USB - micro B","Contact Finish":"Gold","Product Status":"Active","Specifications":"USB 2.0","Number of Ports":"1","Voltage - Rated":"30VAC","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Insulation Color":"Black","Mounting Feature":"Vertical","Ingress Protection":"-","Number of Contacts":"5","Base Product Number":"ZX20","Current Rating (Amps)":"1.8A","Operating Temperature":"-30°C ~ 85°C","Shell/Shielding Material":"Steel, Stainless","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.0000","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$1.00000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.84100","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$0.80680","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$0.78980","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.75550","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$0.68680","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.61812","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.54944","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$0.49793","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/57f4d875de07ac8cb8ef5f14a4a20c39.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/ZX20-B-5S-UNIT(30)/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the mating cycle rating of ZX20-B-5S-UNIT(30)?","answer":"Rated for 10000 mating cycles — ten times the typical consumer micro USB connector.
