Firewire (IEEE 1394) Vertical Receptacle — 6 Contacts, Through-Hole
The TE Connectivity 1734290-2 is a vertical-mount IEEE 1394 Firewire receptacle with 6 contacts arranged in a single port. It terminates through-hole to the PCB with solder, using gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance across repeated mating cycles. The brass shell provides grounding and shielding for the differential-pair signal lines.
Mounting and PCB Fit
Vertical orientation means the connector sits perpendicular to the board, with the mating face pointing upward. The through-hole solder tails anchor the connector and the brass shell against the insertion force of a standard Firewire plug. Board layout should account for the shell's footprint and the keep-out zone around the port for cable strain relief.
