USB Mini A Receptacle for Space-Constrained Board-Edge Designs
The phosphor bronze shell provides basic EMI containment for the USB signal pair, and the board guide plus solder retention features help align the part during reflow and keep it anchored against the shear force of cable insertion.
Electrical and Mechanical Ratings for Fit Confirmation
Rated 1A per port at 30VAC, the current capacity is standard for USB 2.0 power delivery — enough to charge a peripheral or power a low-current sensor, but not sized for high-power USB-C PD applications. The 5000 mating cycles are the standout mechanical spec: that is roughly ten times the cycle life of a basic USB connector, which means the gold-over-phosphor-bronze contact interface is designed for repeated engagement without fretting corrosion or loss of contact force. The right-angle SMT footprint requires a stencil design that accounts for the solder retention tabs — these are not just mechanical anchors; they also carry the ground plane connection through the shell.
