USB Type-A vertical receptacle with board lock
The USBR-A-S-F-O-VU is a vertical through-hole USB Type-A receptacle in Samtec's USBR series, with 4 contacts and a single port. Gold-plated contacts, rated 30VAC, support USB 2.0 signal rates over 1500 mating cycles, with an operating range of -50°C to 85°C. The board lock feature secures the connector during wave solder and in service.
Vertical vs horizontal USBR-A selection
The USBR-A-S-F-O-VU mounts vertically, while the USBR-A-S-S-O-TH from the same series mounts horizontally — both are USB Type-A receptacles with the same 4 contacts, gold finish, and 1500 mating cycles, so the choice depends on board-edge orientation. The USBR-A-S-S-O-VU shares the same vertical mounting and all key specs but differs in packaging details; the board footprint and mating half are identical across the vertical USBR-A variants.
