Board-Mount USB micro B for Space-Constrained Designs
The connector carries a dual current rating: 1A per contact for signal lines and 1.8A for the VBUS power pin, which is enough for charging many portable devices. The 30VAC voltage rating covers standard USB power delivery. Gold plating on the contacts ensures reliable mating over the rated 10000 cycles — a solid figure for a consumer or industrial port that sees daily plugging.
Shielding and Retention for Reliable Data
The steel and stainless steel shell provides full shielding, which is necessary to keep USB 2.0's 480 Mbps differential signal clean in electrically noisy environments — think near a motor drive or power supply. The shell also gives the connector mechanical strength at the board edge.
