USB-A Plug for Panel-Mount and Cable Assembly Use
It's the plug half — the end that goes into a host port or panel-mount receptacle — and comes in a surface-mount, right-angle package with through-hole anchor posts for board retention. The steel (SPCC) shell provides the shield path, and the gold-plated contacts handle the signal and power pair. Rated for 1.5A per port at 30VDC, this is the standard USB 2.0 power delivery, enough for most peripherals and charging at the 500mA base rate with headroom for dedicated charging ports.
Mounting and Termination — SMD with Through-Hole Anchors
The 1-1734028-1 uses a hybrid termination: the four signal contacts are surface-mount pads, while two through-hole anchor posts (listed as Surface Mount, Right Angle; Through Hole) solder into the PCB for mechanical retention. This is common on USB connectors that see insertion and extraction forces — the through-hole posts take the strain off the SMD joints. The natural insulator color is natural (beige/off-white), typical for TE's USB connector line.
The operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C, which covers indoor commercial and light industrial environments but not automotive or outdoor enclosures. ROHS3 compliant per the listing.
