USB 2.0 Mini-B Receptacle for SMD Right-Angle Mounting
The shielded steel shell (SUS304) contains EMI, and the gold-plated contacts support the 5000-cycle mating endurance — well above the typical 1500-cycle rating for standard USB connectors.
5000 Mating Cycles — What That Means for Field Service
The 5000-cycle rating is the standout spec here. Most USB mini-B receptacles are rated for 1500 to 3000 cycles. This part is built for equipment that sees frequent cable swaps — test fixtures, handheld scanners, or panel-mount data ports where the connector is the wear item. The gold contact finish and steel shell work together to keep contact resistance stable across those cycles.
Mounting and Board Layout
The black insulation color is standard for USB mini-B. No through-hole posts; the SMD pads and shell solder tabs provide the mechanical hold.
