Short-body ultra-compact structure saves 30% board space | Horizontal 90-degree insertion | 4Pin standard USB 2.0 transmission | High-conductivity copper terminals, withstands 10,000+ insertions | Free samples and CAD drawings available
This USB AF 2.0 short body female connector (USB Type-A Female 2.0 Short Body Connector) adopts a compact structural design featuring an "ultra-short body depth + high-strength metal spring shield shell + high-conductivity copper alloy terminals." It is specifically engineered for hardware devices with tight internal PCB depth constraints and extreme requirements for minimal board footprint. Compared to standard AF female connectors with a depth of 14.0mm or 17.0mm, this short body version (body depth typically around 10.0mm~10.5mm) saves up to 30% or more of board space, greatly optimizing motherboard layout and enclosure stacking design. It is equipped with 4Pin standard USB 2.0 transmission pins, supporting 480Mbps high-speed data transfer and stable power delivery of 1.5A~2.1A. The shell features fish-hook reinforced mounting legs on both sides, providing strong insertion/withdrawal force after soldering, as well as resistance to pulling and peeling. Widely used in smart set-top boxes, routers, industrial control boards, automotive head units, automotive chargers, and various compact consumer electronics. 2D/3D drawings and free sample requests are available.

[Product Overview] USB AF 2.0 Short Body Female Connector (ultra-short body depth / saves 30% board space / horizontal 90° insertion / 4Pin standard USB 2.0 / high-reinforcement fish-hook legs)
USB AF 2.0 Short Body Female Connector (USB Type-A Female 2.0 Short Body Receptacle) is a product specifically designed for High-density PCB layout, compact hardware panels, industrial control motherboards, and space-constrained consumer electronics A highly integrated connector designed for these applications.
With the trend toward thinner and more compact hardware products, traditional USB A female connectors, due to their longer depth dimensions, often cause motherboard opening conflicts or occupy critical component positions. This product addresses this through shortened depth structural design + optimized spring clamping force + reinforced shell solder legs , with the following core advantages:
- Ultra-short body depth design (saves over 30% space): Compared to standard AF interfaces with a traditional depth of 14mm-17mm, the short body design compresses the body depth to the 10mm level, saving valuable PCB layout space and greatly reducing overall device stacking difficulty.
- 4Pin Standard USB 2.0 Interface (High-Speed Transmission and Stable Power Supply): Retains the standard 4-pin layout (VBUS, D-, D+, GND), fully compatible with USB 2.0 480Mbps high-speed data communication, supporting stable current output of 1.5A-2.1A.
- High-Elasticity Stainless Steel/Brass Nickel-Plated Shield Shell (Interference Resistance and Durable Plugging): The shell features double-sided anti-spring clip design, effectively locking USB drives or cable connectors for smooth insertion and removal without sticking; the overall structure provides excellent EMI shielding performance and oxidation resistance.
- Reinforced Fish-Hook Solder Tabs (High Mechanical Strength): The tail and both sides are equipped with integrally stamped fish-hook tabs, which firmly secure the connector to the PCB after reflow soldering, effectively absorbing lateral and tensile stress caused by frequent plugging and unplugging.
[Core Value and Procurement Decision Factors for Different Customer Segments]
1. For PCB Layout and Mechanical Engineers: Breaking Through Depth Dimension Limits for Effortless Board Layout
The short-body structure saves several millimeters of board space, avoiding layout conflicts between the connector tail and components such as chips and capacitors, making it ideal for high-density miniaturized motherboards.
2. For SMT/DIP Production and Process Managers: Excellent Pin Flatness and High Reflow Pass Rate
Manufactured with high-precision mold stamping, the solder tabs offer high coplanarity and positional accuracy; the high-temperature-resistant plastic core is compatible with both wave soldering and reflow soldering processes, ensuring a high soldering yield.
3. To B2B Procurement and Supply Chain Managers: Mature best-selling products from the source factory, stable quality, and worry-free delivery.
Dongguan Sinyin Electronic' mature automated production line ensures 100% execution of power-on and contact resistance testing, with large quantities of stock on hand to guarantee rapid sample delivery and high-efficiency shipping.
