The **A-USB-5-R** is a specific electronic component manufactured by **Assmann WSW Components**. It is a standard **USB 2.0 Type A Female Connector** designed for Through-Hole mounting on Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). --- ## 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the core electronic and mechanical parameters of the A-USB-5-R: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | USB 2.0 Type A (Female/Receptacle) | | **Mounting Type** | Through-Hole (THT), Right Angle | | **Number of Contacts** | 4 Pins | | **Current Rating** | 1.0A to 1.5A per contact | | **Voltage Rating** | 30V AC/DC | | **Contact Resistance** | 30 mΩ Max | | **Insulation Resistance** | 1000 MΩ Min | | **Operating Temp** | -55°C to +85°C | --- ## 2. Component Pinout Standard USB 2.0 Type A connectors use a 4-pin configuration. On the A-USB-5-R, the pins serve the following functions: 1. **VCC (+5V):** Power supply. 2. **D-:** Data negative. 3. **D+:** Data positive. 4. **GND:** Ground. *Note: The outer metal shield provides structural stability and EMI/RFI grounding.* --- ## 3. Key Electronic Features ### Right-Angle Orientation The "R" in the part number typically denotes a **Right-Angle** configuration. This means the USB cable will be inserted parallel to the PCB surface. This is the standard orientation found on the sides of laptops or the back of desktop motherboards. ### Shielding and Durability * **Shell Material:** Usually Tin-plated Copper Alloy or Steel, which protects the signal from electromagnetic interference (EMI). * **Mating Cycles:** Designed to withstand roughly 1,500 to 5,000 insertion/extraction cycles. * **Solder Tails:** Features kinked or straight leads to hold the part in place on the PCB during the wave soldering process. --- ## 4. Typical Applications The A-USB-5-R is commonly found in: * **Computer Peripherals:** Keyboards, mice, and printers. * **Embedded Systems:** Arduino or Raspberry Pi-style boards for data communication or 5V power input. * **Charging Ports:** Wall adapters and power banks. * **Industrial Control:** PLC interfaces and data logging equipment.
