USB 2.0 Type-A Receptacle — 4 Contacts, Right-Angle Panel Mount
It mates with any USB 2.0 Type-A plug — the ubiquitous rectangular connector found on cables for keyboards, flash drives, and peripheral cables. What sets this variant apart is the mounting arrangement: it combines a panel-mount flange with surface-mount solder tails in a right-angle orientation. The white insulation color and board guide feature help with visual alignment during hand assembly.
Obsolete — Sourcing Strategy for the 5353583-1
No successor part number is listed on the TE product change notice for this base number. If you are qualifying a replacement, the key constraints to match are the USB 2.0 Type-A form factor, the 4-contact layout, the right-angle SMT termination with panel-mount flange, and the UL94 V-0 housing.
Mounting and Termination — Hybrid Panel/SMT Right-Angle
The 5353583-1 terminates via solder — the SMT pads on the right-angle tail reflow to the board while the flange bolts to the panel. This is not a through-hole design; the board-side retention relies on the flange taking the insertion and cable strain, not plated through-holes.
