Board-edge USB mini-B receptacle for 5000-cycle duty
The Hirose UX60SC-MB-5S8(80) is a shielded USB 2.0 mini-B receptacle with 5 contacts, designed for right-angle surface-mount placement at the board edge. It carries gold-plated contacts rated 1 A per circuit at 30 VAC, with a specified operating range of -30°C to 75°C.
What the 5000-cycle rating means for your design
A standard USB mini-B connector typically rates 1500 to 3000 cycles. The 5000-cycle spec on this UX60SC-MB-5S8(80) means the gold plating is thick enough to survive repeated insertion without exposing the base metal — relevant for field-serviceable equipment, test fixtures, or any product where the end user connects and disconnects a cable daily. The shielded shell and copper alloy contact material keep the signal path intact over those cycles; the UL94 V-0 housing ensures the connector meets flammability requirements inside enclosed equipment.
