USB 2.0 micro AB receptacle with a 10,000-cycle mating life
The TE 1551629-3 is a USB 2.0 micro AB receptacle — the AB variant accepts either a micro A or micro B plug, which simplifies the design when the cable side could be either. It carries a split current rating: 0.5 A, 1 A, and 1.8 A across its five contacts, reflecting the different pin duties (VBUS, ID, ground, and the data pair). The 30 V rating covers the VBUS line and any signal-level voltage on the other pins.
Splash-proof SMT right-angle mount
This receptacle is splash-proof — not fully submersible, but rated to survive incidental moisture, which suits handheld instruments, medical peripherals, or outdoor control panels where a standard USB port would corrode. The right-angle SMT orientation places the port parallel to the board edge, a common layout for thin enclosures. The steel/stainless shell provides the shield continuity required for USB 2.0 signal integrity.
