The Hirose ZX62D-B-5P8(30) is a shielded USB micro B receptacle from the ZX series, designed for applications where the standard 5-contact micro USB footprint is needed but the typical 5,000-cycle limit won't hold up. The connector carries a USB 2.0 specification, so it handles the 480 Mbps data rate and 1.8 A charging current without signal degradation.
Why the 10,000-Cycle Rating Matters
Most micro USB receptacles are rated for 5,000 cycles — enough for a consumer phone that gets plugged in once a day for a few years. This Hirose part doubles that to 10,000 cycles, which means it's specced for equipment that stays in service longer or sees multiple connections per shift. The gold-plated contacts resist fretting corrosion over those extra cycles, and the stainless steel shell holds the mating retention force without relaxing.
The ZX62D-B-5P8(30) is a surface-mount, right-angle, bottom-mount receptacle with through-hole solder tabs for mechanical retention. The SMT pads handle the signal and power lines; the through-hole tabs anchor the connector against the insertion and extraction forces from the USB cable. The shielded shell is steel and stainless, grounded through the PCB pads to contain radiated emissions from the USB 2.0 differential pair.
This part is on Last Buy status. That means Hirose has announced end-of-life for the ZX62D-B-5P8(30), and the final production window is closing. For any new design, Hirose's recommended replacement path should be evaluated.
Compatibility and Alternatives
This is a standard USB micro B receptacle — it mates with any USB micro B plug that follows the USB 2.0 mechanical interface. The 5 contacts, 1.8 A rating, and 30 VAC rating are within the USB 2.0 specification envelope.
