Stacked USB-A Receptacle, Vertical Through-Hole, 8 Contacts
The TE Connectivity 1-1775066-1 is a stacked USB-A (USB TYPE-A) receptacle — two USB ports stacked vertically in a single housing, sharing a common set of 8 contacts (4 per port, USB 2.0 pinout). It mounts vertically through-hole, with the mating face oriented upward from the PCB. The brass shell is shielded, and the housing carries board locks for mechanical retention during wave soldering and through repeated mating cycles.
The 1-1775066-1 is officially obsolete per TE Connectivity's lifecycle record. This means the factory no longer manufactures or stocks the part. No direct replacement is listed by TE; a pin-compatible alternative would need to match the stacked vertical USB-A form factor, 8 contacts, board locks, and through-hole mounting.
Board Lock and Mechanical Retention
For a vertical stacked receptacle that sees frequent field mating, the board locks prevent the solder joints on the signal pins from fatiguing. Without them, the connector would rely solely on the signal-pin solder fillets for retention, which is insufficient for the mechanical loads a USB port sees in service.
