The Molex 48397-0003 is a USB 3.0 Type A right-angle receptacle with a reversed orientation, identified by the CH=-1.75 dimension in its description. That CH value means the centre of the receptacle body is offset 1.75 mm from the standard USB 3.0 footprint — it's not a standard drop-in. This variant is designed for enclosures where the USB port needs to sit deeper from the board edge or align with a specific panel cutout. The CH=-1.75 dimension is the single most important board-layout parameter here. If your existing USB 3.0 receptacle has a CH=0.00 or a different offset, this part will shift the port location relative to your mounting holes and panel opening. Measure your enclosure cutout position against the CH value before committing to the footprint.
That clears it for BOM release in any market that enforces RoHS, including Europe and most of Asia.
