Product details

USB Micro B Receptacle for Automated Assembly

Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion across the rated 10,000 mating cycles — well above the 5,000-cycle baseline for standard micro USB, so this connector suits field-serviceable equipment or daily plug/unplug duty. The splash-proof ingress protection (IP rating not specified as a number, but listed as 'Splash Proof') keeps the contacts dry in outdoor terminals or washdown enclosures. The current rating splits across the contacts: 1.8 A on the VBUS pin, 0.5 A on the signal pins — typical for USB 2.0 power delivery. The 30 V rating covers standard USB bus voltage with margin.

Solder Retention and Pick-and-Place Ready

This receptacle includes pick-and-place features for automated assembly lines and solder retention pads that anchor the connector during reflow. The steel/stainless shell provides EMI shielding and mechanical durability. Termination is solder-only — no press-fit option — so the board must survive reflow temperatures.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between micro A and micro B USB?

Micro B USB connectors (like 2173157-2) have a trapezoidal shape with a wider base, used on peripheral devices. Micro A connectors are rectangular and typically used on host devices. The physical keying prevents cross-mating.
