Last Buy — Plan Your Order Window
Hirose has placed the ZX64-B-SLDC in Last Buy status. That means the factory is taking final orders before production stops. Once that window closes, this part goes to surplus and broker channels only. If your BOM calls for this exact shielding plate, now is the time to secure your lifetime buy quantity. There is no official successor listed for this order code, so any replacement would require a board-level redesign or a different shield form factor.
Sourcing Reality
Because this is a Last Buy part, standard distributor stock is drying up. Do not treat this as a stock item you can pull from a shelf; treat it as a planned procurement with a finite window.
Fit Check — What It Works With
This bottom shield mates with a microUSB B plug — the standard 5-pin USB connector found on countless devices, cables, and chargers. It is not a universal shield for every USB form factor; it is specific to the microUSB B interface. If your design uses a microUSB B receptacle from Hirose's ZX64 family, this is the matching bottom shield. For other microUSB B brands, the mechanical fit depends on the receptacle's external dimensions — verify the shield footprint against your chosen connector's datasheet.
