Overview

The 17-200891 is a ruggedized USB 2.0 Type-A receptacle designed for panel-mount applications requiring environmental protection. It features a metallized ABS housing and a circular bayonet coupling mechanism for secure, vibration-resistant locking. This connector simplifies the transition from external USB interfaces to internal printed circuit boards via straight PCB tail termination.

Why Choose This Part

The metallized ABS construction provides a balance of weight and EMI/RFI shielding effectiveness. It features 30 micro-inches of gold plating on copper alloy contacts to ensure reliable signal integrity over 500 mating cycles. The bayonet locking system provides tactile feedback and superior retention compared to standard friction-fit USB connectors.

Applications

Industrial Control Panels
Providing an external data port for PLC programming or data logging in harsh factory environments.
Outdoor Telecommunications
Used in bulkhead mounting scenarios where shielding and mechanical locking are required for weather-resistant enclosures.
Embedded Computing Interfaces
Acting as a ruggedized I/O port for single-board computers housed in custom metal or plastic chassis.
