Product Description
This USB Type-A 4Pin plug terminal connector is designed for electrical and electronic cable assembly, providing a compact solution for both power delivery and high-speed data signal transmission. The connector uses a copper-alloy contact system with thick nickel under-plating and gold-plated terminals to ensure low contact resistance, stable conductivity, and
long-term corrosion resistance.
The solder-cup terminals make it easy to attach power and signal wires in custom USB cables, chargers and adapters. A high-temperature
black thermoplastic housing withstands lead-free reflow and
hand-soldering processes, while the contact geometry is optimized
for smooth mating with standard USB Type-A receptacles. With a
current rating up to 3 A per pin and durability of 5,000 mating cycles or more, this connector is suitable for demanding PC, server, industrial and automotive electronics environments.

Applications
Custom USB data and charging cables for mobile phones, tablets, handheld terminals and consumer
electronics
Internal wire-to-board USB jumpers in PCs, servers, routers and storage devices
Industrial control panels and HMI equipment requiring robust USB connectors for
configuration or data logging
Automotive infotainment and diagnostic interfaces where reliable power and signal connectors are needed
USB extension, adapter and docking products that require customized
cable harnesses or over-molded solutions
Precautions
Ensure the wire gauge and insulation OD match the solder-cup size to avoid poor wetting or mechanical
stress at the terminal.
Observe recommended current and voltage ratings; do not overload the contacts in high-power charging designs.
During soldering, avoid excessive heating time and temperature to
prevent housing deformation or loss of spring force in the terminals.
Keep contact surfaces clean; contamination such as flux residue,
oil or dust can increase contact resistance and affect signal integrity.
For high-speed data transmission, use twisted-pair, shielded USB cable and maintain controlled impedance from cable to connector.
When used in automotive or industrial environments, consider
additional over-molding, strain-relief and shielding to improve vibration resistance and EMC performance.
