It belongs to the ZX series of miniature USB connectors and carries a shielded steel/stainless shell that provides the ground return path and EMI containment for the differential data pair. The gray insulation color and bottom-mount horizontal orientation are fixed — this is not a reverse-mount variant, so the PCB cutout and keep-out zone must match the standard micro AB footprint. The gold-plated contacts are specified for 10,000 mating cycles — well above the typical USB connector endurance — making this a candidate for test fixtures, medical peripherals, or any application where the cable is repeatedly plugged and unplugged over the product life. ## Board Layout and Mounting Considerations This is a surface-mount, right-angle receptacle with a bottom-mount, horizontal orientation. The solder retention feature and pick-and-place compatible packaging (Tape & Reel, Cut Tape) mean it flows through a standard SMT line with no hand-soldering step. ## Positioning Within the ZX Series The ZX62-AB-5PA(31) is the micro AB receptacle in the ZX family. The closest functional sibling is the ZX62D-AB-5P8(30), which shares the same 5-contact micro AB interface, 10,000 mating cycles, and 30 VAC rating, but is packaged in a Digi-Reel option. The ZX62RD-AB-5P8(30) is a reverse-mount variant (plug inserts from the opposite side of the board) and carries a higher 1.8 A per contact rating — useful if your layout requires the cable to exit the opposite face and you need more current headroom. The ZX62-B-5PA(33) is a micro B receptacle (not micro AB), so it accepts only micro B plugs, not the AB plug that can also mate with micro A connectors. For a standard bottom-mount micro AB with the 1 A rating, the ZX62-AB-5PA(31) is the direct selection. ## Regulatory and Lifecycle","metaTitle":"Hirose ZX62-AB-5PA(31) USB micro AB Receptacle, 5 Contacts","metaDescription":"Hirose ZX62-AB-5PA(31) USB 2.0 micro AB receptacle, 5 contacts, shielded, SMT right angle, gold contacts, 1 A per contact, 10,000 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":"Receptacle","Series":"ZX","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR) Cut Tape (CT)","Features":"Pick and Place, Solder Retention","Shielding":"Shielded","Termination":"Solder","Mating Cycles":"10000","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount, Right Angle","Connector Type":"USB - micro AB","Contact Finish":"Gold","Product Status":"Active","Specifications":"USB 2.0","Number of Ports":"1","Voltage - Rated":"30VAC","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Insulation Color":"Gray","Mounting Feature":"Bottom Mount, Horizontal","Ingress Protection":"-","Number of Contacts":"5","Base Product Number":"ZX62","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":"$0.4247","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$0.85000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1,"price":"$0.83000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.72900","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.71800","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$0.68640","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$0.68840","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$0.67360","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$0.65780","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.62920","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.64440","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$0.57200","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$0.58580","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/57f4d875de07ac8cb8ef5f14a4a20c39.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Does ZX62-AB-5PA(31) have a right angle mounting?","answer":"Yes, the ZX62-AB-5PA(31) is a surface-mount, right-angle receptacle with a bottom-mount, horizontal orientation.
