Stacked USB-A Receptacle for Board-Edge Mounting
The Molex 672983090 is a stacked USB-A (USB TYPE-A) receptacle from the 67298 series, carrying 8 contacts across 2 ports — 4 per port matching the standard USB 2.0 pinout.
Rated 1.5A per contact at 30VDC, this connector handles standard USB 2.0 power delivery — enough for charging and data sync on consumer peripherals, hubs, and embedded boards. The 0°C to 50°C operating range is typical for indoor consumer electronics; it is not specced for automotive or industrial ambient.
Right-angle through-hole termination means the solder tails insert into plated holes on the PCB and are wave-soldered from the bottom side. The board lock feature — a pair of plastic or metal posts that snap into the PCB — anchors the connector against the insertion and extraction forces of USB cables. Without those locks, the shear load from a tight cable plug could lift the connector off the board over time.
Compliance and Material
The shell/shielding material is a mix of brass and steel (SUS 304), giving a balance of conductivity for grounding and mechanical strength for the mating interface.
