The Hirose ZX62M-B-5P is a USB micro-B receptacle from the ZX series. The shell is shielded with steel and stainless steel, and the contacts are gold-plated — a pairing that handles the 10,000 mating cycle rating without fretting corrosion on the signal pads.
This is a mid-mount, right-angle receptacle designed for a board-edge cutout. The horizontal orientation means the USB plug inserts parallel to the PCB — common for tablet, handheld, and panel-mount designs where the connector sits flush with the device edge. The pick-and-place compatible packaging (Tape & Reel) suits automated assembly lines.
Key Electrical and Mechanical Ratings
The 10,000 mating cycle rating is notably high for a micro USB connector — most standard micro-B receptacles are rated around 5,000 cycles, so this one suits applications with frequent plug/unplug duty, like test fixtures or field-service devices.
