USB-A Port for the Board Edge
This is the 4-contact, single-port version, specified for USB 2.0 data rates and backward compatible with USB 1.x cables. The shell is shielded, using a copper alloy to contain radiated EMI from the high-speed data lines. This shielding is what lets the assembly pass FCC and CE emission limits without an additional ferrite or metal can around the connector.
