USB micro AB Receptacle for Durable Field Connections
The Hirose ZX62D-AB-5P8(30) is a shielded USB micro AB receptacle designed for applications that demand a rugged, high-cycle interconnect.
This is a surface-mount, right-angle receptacle with a bottom mount, horizontal orientation. That means it sits flush on the PCB edge and the USB plug inserts parallel to the board — typical for portable devices, docking stations, or panel-mount applications where the connector is accessed from the side of the enclosure. The gray insulation color is standard for the ZX series micro AB parts.
Power Delivery and USB Standard
It is not rated for USB 3.0; the specification is USB 2.0, so don't spec it for SuperSpeed data lanes. The micro AB form factor means it accepts both micro A and micro B plugs, which is useful for designs that need to support USB On-The-Go (OTG) where the device can act as either host or peripheral.
