Notes
1) Receptacle type K (Micro AB) is a generation 2 epoxy free design. It is currently available in right angle only.
Consult with Amphenol for the availability of the vertical version.
2) Termination styles 2, 3, 4, 5 & A are currently available for receptacle types A, B, C, D & E only.
3) Termination style 8 is currently available for receptacle types A, C & D only.
4) Termination style A uses the pcb from termination style 3.
5) Termination style B is currently available for receptacle types A & D only.
6) Termination style D is currently available for receptacle type C only.
7) Termination style E is currently available for receptacle types A & C only.
8) Rear shields are optional for receptacle types B & E (Mini B & Mini AB) with right angle termination style.
Rear shields are required for all other types with right angle terminations. Rear shields are not available for
vertical termination style.
9) For receptacle types A, C & D (Standard A & B Series), the unified thread is #4-40UNC and the metric thread
is M3x0.5. For receptacle types B, E & K (Mini B, Mini AB & Micro AB), the unified thread is #2-56UNC
and the metric thread is M2.5x0.45.
10) When dust covers are supplied with the connector, they are not installed. They are supplied in bulk inside each
package of connectors. For receptacle type C (Standard A Series Stacked), two dust covers are supplied per
connector.
11) For receptacle types B & E (Mini B & Mini AB), dust cover code 4 is frequently used. Code 4 connectors are
identical to code 0. For example, part number MUSB-B151-34 is identical to MUSB-B151-30.
12) Consult with Amphenol for additional termination styles, solder cup contacts, mounting styles, conductive
gaskets or other requirements of interest. See catalogue Accessories pages for dust cover options.
