USB 2.0 Type-A Receptacle for Board-Edge Mounting
The shielded copper alloy shell provides the ground return path and EMI containment required for USB 2.0 signal integrity at 480 Mbps. The 1500 mating cycle rating, supported by gold-plated contacts, indicates a robust design for applications with frequent connect/disconnect cycles, such as test equipment, industrial control panels, or consumer device docking stations. The IP20 rating confirms it is not sealed against moisture or dust ingress, so it is intended for clean, dry locations inside an enclosure.
Board Lock and Mounting Details
This is particularly important for a single-port connector where the cable strain is carried entirely by the solder joints and the board lock, rather than by additional mounting screws or brackets. The black insulation color is standard for USB Type-A receptacles.
