The TE Connectivity 5787617-3 is a stacked USB-A (USB TYPE-A) receptacle, USB 2.0 rated, with 8 contacts across a single port. It mounts through-hole, right-angle, horizontally to the board edge — the typical orientation for a panel-mounted or enclosure-edge USB port on a computer chassis, industrial controller, or test equipment front panel. The 1A per contact rating covers standard USB 2.0 signal and low-power lines; it is not sized for USB Power Delivery or high-current charging.
Without them, the solder joints alone would fatigue over the 1500 mating cycles this connector is rated for. That cycle count is on the high side for a standard USB connector; it suits a public-facing port on a kiosk or a test fixture that sees daily reconnects. The gold or gold-palladium contact finish keeps the mating surface corrosion-free over those cycles, especially in environments that are not climate-controlled. The UL94 V-0 rated housing means the connector can be used in equipment that requires a flame-retardant enclosure — typical for industrial or telecom gear where the PCB sits inside a metal cabinet.
