The Hirose ZX62RD-AB-5P8(30) is a USB micro AB receptacle from the ZX series — a 5-contact, USB 2.0-rated connector that accepts either a micro A or micro B plug. What sets this variant apart is the reverse mount orientation: the shell opening faces the opposite direction from a standard horizontal micro USB receptacle, which changes the panel cutout and cable exit side. It carries a shielded steel/stainless shell, gold-plated contacts, and the housing is molded in UL94 V-0 gray LCP.

Mounting: SMT with a through-hole anchor
The primary termination is surface-mount solder for the signal contacts, but the connector also includes through-hole posts for mechanical retention. That dual mounting approach means the SMT reflow handles the electrical connection while the through-hole anchors take the shear force from cable insertion and extraction — a detail that matters if the board sees vibration or the cable gets yanked.
