SELECTION GUIDE

USB Type-A, Type-B, Micro-B & Mini-B Receptacle Selection

A board-mount USB connector is chosen by role first — host or device — then by generation, mounting style and current class. KINGCONN publishes 5 USB 2.0 and 4 USB 3.0 Standard-A parts, 5 Mini-B parts at 0.80mm pitch and 8 Micro-B parts with profiles from 0.75mm. Contact counts follow the USB-IF specifications; every KINGCONN value comes from the part drawing.

The shape carries the role in USB 2.0: flat Standard-A to the host, squarer Standard-B to the device, so a host can never be cabled to a host. Type-C moved that decision to the CC pins — see the Type-C selection guide and USB connector types for the pinouts.

Mounting, retention and current

Vertical SMT saves board length; right-angle DIP takes cable side load best because the legs are in the board; mid-mount lets the enclosure be thinner at the cost of a board cut-out. For charging ports also read the current rating on the drawing rather than assuming the USB class value — the catalog includes a high-current USB 2.0 Standard-A part (7USB2-F0-A002) precisely because that value is not universal.

FAQ

How do I choose a board-mount USB connector?
Fix the role and generation first: Standard-A if the board is the host, Micro-B or Type-C if it is the device. Then fix the mounting (vertical SMT, right-angle DIP, mid-mount) and the current class. KINGCONN publishes 5 USB 2.0 and 4 USB 3.0 board-mount parts.
Are USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 Standard-A receptacles compatible?
Yes. USB 3.0 Standard-A keeps the same outline and adds a row of SuperSpeed contacts behind it for 9 in total, so a USB 3.0 port accepts a USB 2.0 plug and the reverse works at USB 2.0 speed.
What does "rolled edge" mean?
Whether the lip of the metal shell opening is curled over. A rolled edge guides the plug in and protects the shell; a non-rolled part can have a shorter body. Electrically identical — it is a mechanical and cost trade.
When is a mid-mount part the right choice?
When the enclosure is too thin for the receptacle to sit on top of the board. A mid-mount part drops into a board cut-out; the cost is the cut-out. A version without locating bosses places more freely but resists pull-out less.
How thin can a Micro USB receptacle be?
The KINGCONN Micro-B family publishes profiles from 0.75mm (7MCUB-F0-0022, 6-leg mid-mount at 0.75H). The USB 3.0 Micro-B version is 10 contacts at 5.75mm mated height.
