USB micro-B Receptacle, Hirose ZX Series — Obsolete
The Hirose ZX62D-B-5P8(01) is a USB micro-B receptacle from the ZX series, carrying 5 contacts for a single USB 2.0 port. It is a bottom-mount, horizontal, right-angle surface-mount connector, designed to sit flush against the PCB edge for a low-profile device port. The part is now listed as obsolete, so any new build requiring this exact order code will need to source from remaining stock or identify a suitable replacement.
Mounting and Orientation — Bottom-Mount SMT Right Angle
The ZX62D-B-5P8(01) uses a surface-mount, right-angle termination with a bottom-mount, horizontal orientation. The footprint requires a cutout in the PCB for the shield tabs to pass through, typical for space-constrained portable device designs.
Lifecycle — Obsolete, Sourced to Order
Hirose has marked the ZX62D-B-5P8(01) as obsolete. A last-time-buy window may have already closed, so securing stock for a production run requires immediate action.
Sourcing and Compatibility
This connector is compatible with any standard USB micro-B plug and follows the USB 2.0 specification for signal integrity. The 5-contact layout matches the standard micro-B pinout: power (VBUS), two data lines (D+, D-), ID, and ground. For a drop-in replacement, look for other Hirose ZX series micro-B receptacles with the same 5-contact, bottom-mount, SMT right-angle footprint, but verify the shield tab dimensions and PCB keep-out zone against your existing layout.
