Dual-Port USB 3.2 Gen 1 Stacked Receptacle for Board-Edge I/O
The Molex 484060003 is a stacked USB-A receptacle designed for board-edge mounting, providing two Type-A ports in a single through-hole package. It carries 18 contacts total — 9 per port — wired for USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps SuperSpeed) with the full complement of signal, power, and ground pins. The shell is shielded with a steel/stainless material, and a board lock on the mounting tabs anchors the connector against insertion and extraction forces during repeated cable mating.
Current Allocation and Contact Plating
The current rating splits by pin function: 0.25 A per contact on the SuperSpeed signal pairs and 1.8 A per contact on the VBUS and ground pins. This split is standard for USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 receptacles — the lower rating on the high-speed lanes reflects the fine-pitch signal contacts, while the power pins carry the bus-level current for connected devices.
