Hirose ZX62D-B-5PA8 — USB 2.0 micro B Receptacle, Now Obsolete
The Hirose ZX62D-B-5PA8 is a USB 2.0 micro B receptacle from the ZX series, with 5 contacts in a shielded, right-angle SMT package that also uses through-hole retention posts for mechanical strength on the board. Rated for 1.8 A per contact at 30 VAC, the gold-plated contacts support a rated lifespan of 10000 mating cycles — well above the typical micro USB connector, suited for applications where the port sees frequent connect-disconnect duty, such as handheld test equipment or data-logging interfaces. The operating temperature range of -30°C to 85°C and UL94 V-0 rated housing cover industrial cabinet environments.
The ZX62D-B-5PA8 is officially listed as Obsolete by Hirose. No direct replacement order code is provided in the lifecycle record.
Mounting and Contact Design
The hybrid termination — SMT signal tails plus through-hole retention posts — anchors the connector against the shear force of repeated cable insertion and removal. The shielded shell is steel with a stainless finish, and the pick-and-place feature with solder retention aids automated assembly.
