The TE Connectivity 5787617-4 is a stacked USB-A (USB Type-A) receptacle, USB 2.0 rated, with 8 contacts arranged as two separate 4-pin ports stacked vertically. It is a right-angle through-hole mount part with a horizontal orientation, designed for board-edge placement where a single PCB footprint serves two USB ports — common on rear I/O panels of industrial PCs, test equipment, and embedded systems that need two Type-A connections in a single cutout.
Board Lock and Mounting Detail
Without the board lock, the solder joints alone would take the full strain of repeated USB plug insertions; with it, the mechanical load is shared with the board. The through-hole tails provide a stronger solder joint than SMT for a connector that sees frequent mating cycles.
