Stacked USB-A Receptacle for Space-Constrained I/O Panels
Each of the 8 contacts (4 per port) is rated 1A per contact at 30VAC, which is the standard USB 2.0 power envelope — enough for a keyboard, mouse, or low-power peripheral, but not a fast-charging tablet.
Board Lock Takes the Cable Strain
The board lock is a small but critical feature on a right-angle connector like this one. When a USB cable gets yanked sideways — and it will — the board lock transfers the shear force from the solder joints into the PCB plated-through hole, so the signal pins don't fatigue and crack over time. For a panel-mount application where the connector lives on a bracket or the edge of a board, that mechanical anchor is the difference between a field return and a reliable install.
USB 2.0 Only — Not a SuperSpeed Connector
The 8 contacts cover the standard USB 2.0 pinout across two ports, with the shield tied to the copper alloy shell.
