It carries 10 contacts in a single-port, right-angle surface-mount package, with an additional through-hole option for mechanical retention. The housing is molded in UL94 V-0 rated black resin, with a steel/stainless shell for EMI shielding. ## What the 10,000 Mating Cycle Rating Means The 10000-cycle rating is the headline feature here. Standard USB micro-B connectors typically spec 5000 to 7000 cycles; Hirose achieves this through a Palladium-Nickel contact finish rather than the usual gold flash. Palladium-Nickel is harder and more wear-resistant, so the contact resistance stays stable through more insertions. For a panel-mounted or enclosure-mounted USB port that gets daily plugging — test fixtures, data loggers, medical carts — this connector outlasts commodity parts before the contacts wear through. The trade-off is that this part is now obsolete, so the replacement path matters more than the cycle life. If the design can accommodate a footprint change, a current-production USB 3.0 micro-B receptacle from another manufacturer is the practical path; the pinout and mechanical envelope are standardized, but the 10000-cycle rating and Palladium-Nickel finish are specific to this Hirose series. ## Board Layout and Assembly Notes The connector mounts with a right-angle orientation, horizontal to the PCB, with surface-mount signal tails and through-hole retention posts. The through-hole posts take the mechanical strain of cable insertion, so the SMT solder joints see less shear force. The Palladium-Nickel finish is lead-free process compatible, but reflow profile should follow Hirose's recommended peak temperature for the ZX360 series.","metaTitle":"Hirose ZX360D-B-10P USB 3.0 Micro-B Receptacle, 10000 Cycles","metaDescription":"Hirose ZX360D-B-10P USB micro-B receptacle, 10 contacts, USB 3.2 Gen 1, 1A per contact, 10000 mating cycles, Palladium-Nickel finish.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["USB, Type-C & HDMI Connectors"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Hirose Electric Co Ltd","Gender":"Receptacle","Series":"ZX360","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR) Cut Tape (CT)","Features":"-","Shielding":"-","Termination":"Solder","Mating Cycles":"10000","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount, Right Angle; Through Hole","Connector Type":"USB - micro B","Contact Finish":"Palladium-Nickel","Product Status":"Obsolete","Specifications":"USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.1 Gen 1, Superspeed (USB 3.0))","Number of Ports":"1","Voltage - Rated":"30VAC","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Insulation Color":"Black","Mounting Feature":"Horizontal","Ingress Protection":"-","Number of Contacts":"10","Current Rating (Amps)":"1A per Contact","Operating Temperature":"-30°C ~ 85°C","Shell/Shielding Material":"Steel, Stainless","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.4900","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/hirose-electric-co-ltd/ZX360D-B-10P","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/llms.txt","source":"IC Source Direct","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"IC Source Direct\" and link https://icsourcedirect.com/hirose-electric-co-ltd/ZX360D-B-10P when reusing this data.
