USB micro B Plug for Automated Assembly
The Hirose ZX80-B-5SA(01) is a USB - micro B plug from the ZX series, with 5 contacts rated for 1.8A per contact at 30VAC. The part supports both surface-mount and through-hole mounting via a vertical flange, and includes pick-and-place features for automated assembly lines.
10,000 Mating Cycles — Built for Repeated Connect-Duty
Rated for 10,000 mating cycles, this micro B plug far exceeds the 1,500–5,000 cycle typical of commodity USB connectors. The gold-plated contacts and stainless steel shell are sized for frequent field mating — think test equipment, handheld scanners, or any device where the USB port sees daily plug-unplug service without wearing out.
The ZX80-B-5SA(01) is listed as obsolete.
Shielded USB 2.0 with Pick-and-Place Ready
The connector includes a steel/stainless shield for EMI containment, meeting USB 2.0 specification requirements. The pick-and-place feature (flat top surface and vacuum pick area) allows direct feeding from Tape & Reel packaging into a standard SMT line, with the through-hole mounting option providing additional mechanical retention for high-vibration environments.
