USB-A Receptacle, Shielded, Right-Angle — Molex 0676432911
The Molex 0676432911 is a single-port USB-A (USB TYPE-A) receptacle from the 67643 series, carrying 4 contacts in a right-angle through-hole package. The shielded shell — copper alloy — and board lock feature are designed to keep the connector anchored and the signal path contained on the PCB.
Right-Angle Mount with Board Lock
Right-angle orientation places the USB port parallel to the PCB — typical for edge-mounted or low-profile panel cutouts. The board lock provides mechanical retention during solder reflow and resists shear force from cable insertion and removal. Termination is solder to through-hole pads, a standard method for USB connectors that need a robust mechanical bond to the board.
Shielding and USB Compatibility
The shielded shell (copper alloy) reduces radiated emissions and susceptibility. The 1.5A rating per contact covers standard USB power with headroom; the 30VDC rating exceeds the 5V typical of USB buses.
