Through-hole USB 2.0 Type B with board lock
The USB-B-S-F-W-TH is a 4-contact USB 2.0 Type B receptacle from Samtec's USB-B series, terminated through-hole with a right-angle orientation for horizontal board mounting. Gold-plated contacts rated for 1500 mating cycles, 30 VAC, with a steel shell and UL94 V-0 white insulation. Operating temperature range is -50°C to 85°C.
Board lock and shell retention
Integrated board lock secures the connector during reflow and provides additional shear resistance from cable strain. The steel shell offers EMI shielding for the USB 2.0 signal pair.
Series siblings and packaging options
Within the USB-B series, the USB-B-S-F-W-TH (white, bulk) is joined by the USB-B-S-S-B-TH (black, bulk) and the USB-B-S-S-W-TH (white, tray). All share the same 4-contact Type B layout, right-angle through-hole footprint, gold contacts, and board lock feature — the colour and packaging differ per line feed preference. For a surface-mount variant, the USB-B-S-F-W-SM-TR ships in tape-and-reel packaging with a board guide instead of a board lock.
