The USB 2.0 specification limits the data rate to 480 Mbps, so this connector is not pin-compatible with USB 3.0 or 3.1 receptacles (which add extra contacts in a different row). Mounting is surface-mount right-angle, with the receptacle body sitting horizontal to the board edge. The 4 SMD tails and the board lock anchors hold it through reflow and against the mechanical stress of repeated cable insertions.
Why the Board Lock and 1500 Mating Cycles Matter
The board lock is not decorative — it's a pair of SMT anchor tabs that take the shear force from cable plugging and unplugging. Without it, the signal tails would carry the full mechanical load and eventually lift the pads. The 1500 mating cycles rating means this receptacle is designed for field-service and frequent reconnection, not a one-time install. The 30VAC rating is typical for USB; the limiting factor is the creepage distance across the 2.0 mm pitch between contacts, not the contact itself.
