Transfer data or power to a device with this USB connector from Molex. Type B connectors like this one are commonly mounted to the PCBs (printed circuit boards) of small portable devices, like mobile phones and flash drives. The connector features OTG (on-the-go) technology that allows devices to communicate directly with each other without needing a host computer. A stainless steel shell provides high mechanical strength, so this unit stands up well to regular use.

• Over 10,000 insertion cycles for durability, even when used frequently
• Fully shielded so won't interfere with nearby electronic devices
• Keying feature that prevents mismating for ease of use
• Copper-alloy contacts are resistant to corrosion for an extended service life

• Telecommunication networks
• Laptops and printers
• Mobile phones

A Type B USB connector has slightly angled upper corners, which means the receptacle only accepts a connection when the male part is the right way up. They're primarily found in upstream connections on peripheral devices designed to connect and send data directly to a host device, like a hard drive enclosure.
