It is a right-angle through-hole mount part, designed to sit horizontally on the PCB edge for a standard USB port. The shielded shell, with steel or stainless construction, provides the EMI containment USB 2.0 requires. The 1A per contact current rating and 30VAC voltage rating are standard for USB 2.0 power delivery — enough for charging and data sync on consumer and industrial equipment.
The 4 contacts follow the standard USB-A pinout — VBUS, D-, D+, and GND — so any standard USB-A plug mates electrically. The 1500 mating cycles rating means this receptacle is built for field-service and repeated plug/unplug duty, not a one-time install. The gold or gold-palladium contact finish supports those cycles without fretting corrosion.
