10117836-001LF – FCI

The 10117836-001LF is a vertical-mount, Type A USB 3.0 receptacle manufactured by FCI. This connector features a 9-position configuration, adhering to the USB 3.0 standard which includes the standard USB 2.0 signals plus five additional contacts for SuperSpeed data transfer. The vertical orientation facilitates perpendicular board mounting, commonly employed in space-constrained applications. The connector body provides mechanical support and electrical insulation. The “LF” suffix indicates a lead-free finish, compliant with RoHS directives for environmental safety. It is designed for reflow soldering processes, withstanding typical PCB assembly temperatures. The housing material is likely a high-temperature thermoplastic suitable for reflow soldering, and the contacts are typically a copper alloy with gold plating over nickel to ensure reliable electrical connection and corrosion resistance.
