The 10000 mating cycle rating is notably high for a micro USB connector — most standard micro USB receptacles are rated for 10000 cycles on the plug side, but many plugs themselves are rated lower. This Hirose plug is built for repeated connect-disconnect duty in field-service or test applications where the cable end sees frequent reconnection. ## Lifecycle — Obsolete, Sourced to Order For BOM lines still specifying this part, the only channel is the surplus and independent distribution market. If your design can accommodate a current-production micro USB plug, Hirose's ZX series has been superseded by later series; confirm the footprint and pinout match before substituting. This plug mates with a standard USB micro B receptacle. The 5-contact pinout follows the micro USB specification: VBUS, D-, D+, ID, and GND. The ID pin is left unconnected in standard USB 2.0 operation; it's used for On-The-Go host negotiation. Termination is solder — the contacts are soldered directly to the cable conductors. No crimp option on this plug; it's a one-piece molded assembly with the cable, typically part of a pre-terminated cable assembly. For field repair, you'd replace the entire cable rather than re-pin the connector.","metaTitle":"Hirose ZX40-B-5S-UNIT(12) USB micro B Plug, 5 Contacts","metaDescription":"Hirose ZX40-B-5S-UNIT(12) USB micro B plug, 5 contacts, 1.8A, 30VAC, 10000 mating cycles.","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":"Plug","Series":"ZX","Package":"Tray","Features":"-","Shielding":"-","Termination":"Solder","Mating Cycles":"10000","Mounting Type":"Free Hanging (In-Line)","Connector Type":"USB - micro B","Contact Finish":"Gold","Product Status":"Obsolete","Specifications":"USB 2.0","Number of Ports":"1","Voltage - Rated":"30VAC","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Insulation Color":"Black","Mounting Feature":"-","Ingress Protection":"-","Number of Contacts":"5","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":"$0.8300","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/3c8c5948d70a68e22bb3025e5a8df129.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/ZX40-B-5S-UNIT(12)/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is ZX40-B-5S-UNIT(12) obsolete?","answer":"Yes, the ZX40-B-5S-UNIT(12) is listed as Obsolete.
