USB Type-B Receptacle for Standard USB 2.0 Duty
The TE Connectivity 1734517-1 is a USB-B (USB TYPE-B) receptacle, the downstream-facing connector found on peripheral devices, hubs, and host boards that require a standard USB 2.0 interface. With 4 contacts in a single-port vertical SMT package, it matches the pinout of every USB 2.0 Type-B plug — the square connector with the beveled top corners — so it mates directly with printer cables, scanner leads, and microcontroller programming dongles. The shell is phosphor bronze for EMI containment and spring retention against the mating plug; contacts are gold-plated, which is the expected finish for USB connectors that see repeated connect-disconnect cycles over the life of the equipment.
SMT Vertical Mount and Solder Retention
This is a surface-mount part — the 4 solder tails and the shell's SMT tabs reflow onto the board pads in a single pass. The vertical orientation means the USB plug inserts perpendicular to the PCB, which is the standard arrangement for edge-mounted or mid-board USB ports.
