USB-A Plug for MECHATROLINK II — Free-Hanging, 4-Contact
This is the cable-end plug half — it terminates a USB cable via solder connections and mates with a standard USB-A receptacle. The 4-contact layout follows the USB 2.0 pinout (VBUS, D-, D+, GND), making it electrically compatible with USB 2.0 signaling applications. Gold plating on the contacts provides corrosion resistance for field-service life and repeated mating cycles.
Mounting and Termination — In-Line Cable Assembly
The solder termination requires stripping and tinning the USB cable wires before soldering to the contact tails. For production volumes, overmolding the cable exit provides strain relief and environmental sealing. The steel shell/shielding material provides EMI containment when mated with a shielded receptacle.
Flammability and Compliance — UL94 V-0 Housing
The connector is RoHS compliant per the TE Connectivity standard declaration.
