The Molex 0471531002 is a USB mini B receptacle from the 47153 series, designed for USB 2.0 OTG (On-The-Go) applications. It carries 5 contacts in a single port, shielded for EMI protection, with a horizontal SMT right-angle mounting orientation that keeps the cable entry low-profile against the board edge. The gold contact finish handles repeated mating cycles typical of portable device charging and data sync ports.
Rated at 1A and 1.8A across 100VAC/DC, this receptacle can handle both standard USB charging currents and the higher draw allowed under OTG negotiation. The 1.8A rating is the practical limit for power delivery — useful for powering a peripheral from a mobile host. The steel and stainless shell provides the ground path and mechanical robustness expected from a USB mini B jack.
The Molex 0471531002 is officially marked Obsolete by the manufacturer. No direct replacement or successor part number is listed on record. Buyers should plan for a last-time buy or qualify a pin-compatible alternative for new designs.
This receptacle mates with a standard USB mini B plug. The 5 contacts follow the USB 2.0 OTG pinout — ID pin for host/device negotiation, plus the usual VBUS, D-, D+, and GND. Termination is solder-only, SMT for the signal pins, with the shield legs soldering through-hole for additional mechanical retention. The horizontal mounting keeps the mated plug running parallel to the board surface.
