USB 2.0 micro-B Receptacle for Automated Assembly
The Hirose ZX80-B-5P(30) is a USB 2.0 micro-B receptacle with 5 gold-plated contacts, rated 1.8 A per contact at 30 VAC. This is the receptacle (female) half — mates with the corresponding micro-B plug. The vertical mounting orientation accepts both SMT and through-hole soldering, and the Pick and Place feature flags it for automated assembly lines.
10,000 Mating Cycles — Built for Repeated Connect-Duty
The 10,000 mating cycle rating is the standout spec here. Standard USB micro-B connectors typically spec 5,000 to 10,000 cycles; this one lives at the high end, suited for field-service equipment, test jigs, or any application where the cable is regularly disconnected and reconnected. The gold contact finish supports this cycle life — gold plating resists oxidation and wear through repeated matings better than tin.
Shielded Construction and Compliance
The steel/stainless shell provides a continuous ground path around the signal contacts, which is necessary for meeting FCC or CISPR radiated emission limits in consumer electronics, medical peripherals, or industrial control panels.
