Obsolete — Plan the BOM Cross Now
The Hirose UX60SA-MB-5ST is officially listed as Obsolete.
USB 2.0 Mini-B, Right-Angle SMT, Shielded
It carries 5 contacts on a right-angle surface-mount footprint, with the mating interface oriented horizontal to the PCB — a common layout for edge-mounted or low-profile portable device ports. The full metal shield is phosphor bronze, and the contacts are gold-plated, giving corrosion resistance for the rated 5000 mating cycles.
5000 Mating Cycles — Built for Frequent Reconnect
The 5000-cycle rating is the standout durability spec here. Standard USB mini-B connectors typically spec 5000 to 10000 cycles, so this sits at the lower end of the high-durability range — still well above a basic 1500-cycle consumer USB connector. For a field-service technician or a device that sees daily cable connects, this cycle life means the port will outlast most product lifetimes before contact fretting becomes an issue.
Solder Retention and Board Layout
Board layout engineers should note the keep-out zone around the shield for clearance, and that the 5 contacts route to the PCB on a standard USB mini-B footprint.
