It mounts surface mount, right angle, horizontal to the board — a standard orientation for edge-mounted USB ports on PCBs. The sliding collar feature aids insertion and extraction in tight panel cutouts, reducing strain on the solder joints during repeated mating cycles.
Lifecycle and Sourcing — This Part Is Obsolete
The 1-2041531-1 is listed as Obsolete. If you need a production-grade USB 2.0 receptacle for new builds, a current-production USB-A part from TE or another major manufacturer is the practical path.
What the USB 2.0 Rating Means for Your Fit
USB 2.0 supports data rates up to 480 Mbps. The 4-contact layout is the standard USB-A pinout — VBUS, D-, D+, and GND. This receptacle is not rated for USB 3.0 or 3.x, which require additional contacts for SuperSpeed pairs. The right-angle surface-mount footprint is common for edge-mounted ports; the sliding collar adds mechanical leverage for mating in confined enclosures.
