Frequently asked questions
Will 8492121 drop into a panel that was specified around 614104150121 without rewiring?
Both are USB-A receptacles with 4 contacts, USB 2.0, gold contacts, shielded, and through-hole right-angle mounting. The 8492121 includes ESD protection and board locks; the 614104150121 does not list ESD protection. The footprint and pinout are functionally equivalent, but the ESD feature may affect signal routing on the host board.
