Key Features
- Mini USB 2.0 Type-AB female interface in a compact 0.394 x 0.157 x 0.374 inch SMT body for space-constrained designs
- PEG board mounting option provides enhanced mechanical pull-out strength during reflow soldering and in-field mating cycles
- Tin (Sn) contact finish on termination side ensures compatibility with standard SMT solder processes and reliable board attachment
Applications
The MUSB-05-F-AB-SM-A is used in portable consumer electronics, industrial handheld devices, and embedded systems requiring a robust Mini USB 2.0 Type-AB port for data transfer and power supply up to 5 V at 500 mA. Its SMT form factor suits automated PCB assembly in cameras, GPS units, and medical diagnostic equipment. The connector is also found in test fixtures and development boards where a standard Mini USB interface is needed with mechanically secure solder attachment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What USB standard and connector type does MUSB-05-F-AB-SM-A implement?
The MUSB-05-F-AB-SM-A implements the USB 2.0 standard in a Mini USB Type-AB female configuration. It supports full-speed and hi-speed USB data rates up to 480 Mbps and delivers up to 500 mA at 5 V, making it suitable for both data and bus-powered device applications.
How does the PEG board mounting option in MUSB-05-F-AB-SM-A improve PCB reliability compared to standard SMT connectors?
The PEG board mounting option adds mechanical pegs that anchor the 0.394 x 0.374 inch connector body to the PCB, significantly increasing resistance to pull-out forces during Mini USB cable insertion and removal. This is particularly important for portable devices subject to repeated mating cycles, where peg retention reduces solder joint stress compared to non-pegged SMT designs.
What is the factory lead time for MUSB-05-F-AB-SM-A and how does it affect procurement planning?
The MUSB-05-F-AB-SM-A has a factory lead time of 1 week, which is shorter than many specialty connector options. This quick turnaround, combined with a YTEOL of 6.2 years, allows procurement teams to maintain lean inventory levels while ensuring product availability for scheduled production runs.
For which embedded system designs is MUSB-05-F-AB-SM-A a better fit than a full-size USB Type-B connector?
For portable and compact embedded designs requiring USB 2.0 connectivity on PCBs smaller than 40 mm in any dimension, the MUSB-05-F-AB-SM-A is preferable to a full-size USB Type-B connector because its 0.394 x 0.374 inch footprint occupies roughly 60% less board area. It is the preferred choice in handheld instruments, wearables, and UAV control boards where board space is at a premium.
