It carries 5 contacts in a shielded, vertical-mount package that accepts both surface-mount and through-hole solder tails — a hybrid footprint that suits reflow assembly with added through-hole anchor points for mechanical retention. The steel and stainless shell provides EMI containment, and the gold contact finish supports the rated 10,000 mating cycles, making this a high-durability choice for field-serviceable or test-equipment USB ports.
Rated 1.8A per contact at 30VAC — that is above the USB 2.0 baseline of 0.5A, so this plug can handle charging or power delivery beyond basic data duty. The shielded shell (steel, stainless) keeps radiated noise off the differential pair, which is essential for maintaining USB 2.0 signal integrity in industrial or RF-present environments.
The ZX80-B-5SA is listed as obsolete.
Mating and Termination Check
This is a plug — it mates with a USB micro-B receptacle (the jack side typically found on a PCB or panel). Termination is solder, with a hybrid mounting footprint that supports both surface-mount pads and through-hole pins. The black insulation and UL94 V-0 rated housing suit enclosed equipment where flame rating is required.
