Obsolete USB micro AB Receptacle
The Hirose ZX62D-AB-5P8(01) is a USB micro AB receptacle — the connector type that accepts both micro A and micro B plugs, making it the standard host-side port for USB On-The-Go devices. With 5 contacts in a single port, this is the standard micro USB pinout. The mounting is a hybrid: surface-mount right-angle solder pads for the signal contacts, plus through-hole posts for mechanical retention to the board. The mounting feature is bottom mount, horizontal — the receptacle sits flush on the PCB edge with the opening parallel to the board surface. The 5-contact count and USB 2.0 specification mean it is not compatible with USB 3.0 — USB 3.0 micro connectors use 9 or 10 contacts for the SuperSpeed differential pairs.
Obsolete — What That Means for Sourcing
The ZX62D-AB-5P8(01) is officially obsolete per its lifecycle status. Hirose has discontinued this exact order code. For a buyer with this on a BOM, the first question is whether a form-fit-function cross exists within the ZX series — the 5-contact micro AB footprint in Hirose's current USB connector portfolio. Because this is a discontinued part, standard distributor stock is depleted.
The dual mounting approach — SMT right-angle for the signal contacts plus through-hole for mechanical retention — means the board footprint must include both the SMT pads and the plated through-holes. The bottom mount, horizontal feature confirms the connector body sits on the bottom side of the board.
