USB Type-A Port for Panel or PCB Edge
The TE Connectivity 1734366-4 is a standard USB Type-A receptacle — the rectangular port found on computers, hubs, and embedded equipment. It carries the USB 2.0 specification, meaning it handles data rates up to 480 Mbps and supplies power at 1A per contact across its 4 positions. The vertical orientation means the USB port points straight up from the board, so the enclosure cutout sits directly above the connector for a clean panel exit. The shell is fully shielded with a brass body to contain EMI from the high-speed data lines, and the contacts are gold-plated to resist corrosion through repeated connect-disconnect cycles — rated for 1500 mating cycles, which is well above the typical office-equipment duty cycle.
Mounting and Footprint Fit
The vertical mounting feature means the connector body stands perpendicular to the PCB, so the USB plug inserts straight down. The board footprint is the standard USB Type-A layout: the four contacts are arranged in a single row with the two board locks flanking them, and the shielded shell has additional solder tabs for ground connection. The 1A per-contact current rating covers the USB 2.0 power bus (VBUS) at 5V, with the 30VAC voltage rating providing ample margin for the 5V supply.
