It's a 5-contact, single-port, shielded connector built for applications where a standard micro-B port is needed but the environment demands more than a basic connector.
This receptacle supports board-edge, surface-mount, and through-hole right-angle mounting, with a horizontal, mid-mount feature. The mid-mount option lets you sink the connector into a cutout in the PCB, dropping the overall profile — useful when the enclosure lid clears the board by only a couple of millimeters. Termination is solder-only, so plan for a reflow or selective wave step. The shielded shell is steel with a stainless finish, which holds up to corrosion better than bare steel in humid cabinets.
The 1A and 1.8A current ratings are per the USB 2.0 spec — 1A for standard data lines, 1.8A for the VBUS line if the design negotiates higher current. That 1.8A figure is the practical limit before the contact temperature rise hits the 85°C operating ceiling of the LCP housing. The 30VAC rating is standard for USB; you're not pushing high voltage through this port. The gold contact finish isn't just for corrosion resistance — it's what lets the connector hit 10,000 cycles without the contact resistance drifting out of spec.
