It carries 4 contacts on the standard USB-B footprint, gold-plated for corrosion resistance and consistent signal contact over repeated mates. Rated for 1500 mating cycles — well above the 500-cycle baseline for basic USB connectors — this part is suited for equipment that sees frequent cable connection and disconnection, such as instrumentation, test gear, or industrial peripherals where the USB-B port is on the device side.
The 1.5 A per contact rating and 30 V rating are standard for USB 2.0 power delivery — enough for bus-powered devices but not for charging profiles above 1.5 A. The shielded shell, made from copper alloy, ties to the board ground plane to contain the 480 Mbps USB 2.0 differential pair radiation. The 1500-cycle mating endurance is the strongest durability spec here — it tells you the gold plating is thick enough to survive field-service reconnection without the contact resistance drifting.
