USB Type-B Receptacle with Board Lock and Shielding
The Molex 670687041 is a USB 2.0 Type-B receptacle from the 67068 series, offering 4 contacts in a right-angle, through-hole package designed for horizontal mounting on a PCB edge. It is a shielded connector with a board lock feature, providing both EMI containment and mechanical retention against the shear force of repeated cable insertions.
Rated 1.5 A per contact at 30 V, this connector is sized for USB 2.0 power and data duty. The full shield, made from copper alloy, is grounded through the solder tabs to the board ground plane, keeping common-mode noise from coupling into the data lines.
The board lock is a separate pair of through-hole posts that anchor into the PCB before soldering.
