USB micro AB Receptacle for SMT Assembly
The Hirose ZX62-AB-5PA is a USB micro AB receptacle, 5 contacts, designed for surface-mount right-angle bottom-mount placement. The gold-plated contacts support 10,000 mating cycles, well above the typical USB connector, which suits applications where the port sees frequent reconnection over the product life.
If you're qualifying a new design, look for a current-production USB micro AB receptacle from the same series or a pin-compatible alternative from another manufacturer, but no direct cross-reference is on record.
SMT Assembly and Board Fit
This connector ships in Tape & Reel packaging, which feeds directly into a pick-and-place line. The insulation color is Gray, which is standard for Hirose ZX series micro USB receptacles.
What the 10,000 Mating Cycles Mean for Your Design
The 10,000-cycle rating is unusually high for a USB micro connector — most are rated 5,000 to 10,000 cycles. This tells you the gold plating is thick enough to resist wear through repeated insertions, and the contact beam design doesn't fatigue early. The 1A per contact rating also allows for charging current above the USB 2.0 baseline, useful for battery-powered products that need both data and power through the same port.
