Design Fit: USB 2.0 micro-B Receptacle for Compact SMT Assembly
It's the standard connector for portable device charging and data sync, fitting the micro-B plug found on most phone cables and peripheral cords. Rated for 30VAC and 1A to 1.8A per contact, it handles the USB 2.0 power profile for charging and low-power peripherals. The dual current rating reflects the different derating for signal vs power contacts in the micro-B layout — the VBUS and GND pins carry the higher figure.
Mating Cycle Endurance: 10000 Cycles
Rated for 10000 mating cycles, this receptacle is built for frequent plug/unplug duty — think test equipment, handheld scanners, or public kiosk ports. Standard micro-B connectors typically spec 5000 to 10000 cycles; this one sits at the high end, which means the gold plating and contact beam design are engineered for the long haul. If your application sees daily connect-disconnect, this rating buys you years of reliable service before contact wear becomes a concern.
