Right-Angle USB-A Receptacle for Board-Edge Routing
It carries 9 contacts and is specified for USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1 or Superspeed USB 3.0), supporting data rates up to 5 Gbps. The connector is shielded with a steel, stainless shell to contain EMI from the high-speed differential pairs. The insulation color is blue, a common visual cue for USB 3.0/3.1 ports.
Dual Current Rating and Contact Duty
The current rating is split: 0.25A per contact on the signal pins and 1.8A per contact on the power pins. This is standard for USB 3.x receptacles — the four SuperSpeed differential pairs are rated lower because they carry signal, while the VBUS and GND pins handle the power delivery. The 30VAC/DC voltage rating covers the USB bus voltage and any standard USB Power Delivery profiles up to 20V.
Mounting and Termination Notes
Termination is solder — the through-hole pins are designed for wave or hand soldering. The horizontal mounting feature aligns the port opening with the enclosure cutout. The connector comes in a tray for automated pick-and-place. The UL94 HB flammability rating is typical for internal connectors that are not subject to direct flame exposure — acceptable for most commercial and industrial equipment housed inside a metal or plastic enclosure.
