USB-A Receptacle — Obsolete, Sourced to Order
It is a through-hole, right-angle mount connector with a horizontal orientation, designed for board-edge applications where a USB port needs to sit parallel to the PCB. The shielded shell and board lock provide mechanical retention and EMI containment in the mated pair. The 1500 mating cycle rating means it is built for frequent plug/unplug cycles typical of user-facing ports on equipment like instrumentation, industrial panels, or test fixtures.
Fit and Termination Details
The 787616-1 uses solder termination for the through-hole pins and the four shield tabs. Contact finish is gold or gold-palladium over the base copper alloy shell/shielding material. The shielded shell is made of copper alloy, which provides the grounding path and EMI shielding required for USB signal integrity.
