USB micro AB receptacle — what you're looking at
The Hirose ZX62R-AB-5P is a USB micro AB receptacle from the ZX series, designed for applications where a single port must accept either a micro-A or micro-B plug. It carries 5 contacts rated 1.8A per contact at 30VAC, with USB 2.0 signal capability. The shielded steel and stainless shell provides EMI containment — important for portable electronics where the connector sits at the board edge near antennas or sensitive circuitry. Gold-plated contacts and a 10,000-cycle mating life rating mean this connector was built for frequent plug/unplug duty, not a one-time harness assembly.
Obsolete — what crosses to it
The ZX62R-AB-5P is marked obsolete. The closest documented sibling is the ZX62R-AB-5P8 — the two differ in a detail that matters for footprint compatibility. The pinout, board layout footprint, and mating plug interface must be verified against the original design.
Mounting and board-fit details
The pick-and-place compatible packaging and solder retention features suit automated assembly lines.
What 10,000 mating cycles buys you
Standard USB micro-B receptacles typically rate 5,000 to 10,000 cycles. For a device that sees daily cable connection over a multi-year service life, this rating matters. The 1.8A per contact current rating is typical for USB power delivery at 5V; derate above 85°C operating temperature.
