This component is a USB 3.0 Standard-A female socket, designed for in-line cable integration or panel mounting. Its defining feature is the classic, rectangular USB-A port shape, internally upgraded with nine electrical contacts to support SuperSpeed USB 3.0 data transfers. These contacts consist of the traditional four pins for USB 2.0 compatibility (power, ground, and differential data pair D+/D-) and five additional pins dedicated to the separate SuperSpeed transmit and receive lanes, enabling significantly higher bandwidth.

The connector is specified as a “free-hanging” or “in-line” type, meaning it is not intended for direct PCB mounting but is instead furnished with wire termination leads for assembly into a cable assembly or integration into a device housing. Critically, its electrical rating exceeds the standard USB power specification, supporting up to 30V DC at a maximum current of 1.5A. This makes it suitable for applications beyond typical 5V bus power, such as in proprietary charging systems or specialized industrial equipment.

The body, constructed from durable plastic with a metal shield for EMI protection and mechanical robustness, measures 15mm in length, providing a compact yet solid form factor for secure mating with a standard USB-A plug.
