Model MU491 - Four-contact SMT socket |
Housing Colour B - Black |
Shell Plating 6 - Tin |
Contact Plating O - Selective gold flash |
Face or Mylar 1 - Mating-face type 1; MU491 only |
Packing R - Tape on reel; MU492 only |
MU491 is a four-contact compact socket with two selectable mating-face profiles. MU492 is a five-contact Mini USB socket with an optional Mylar pickup support. Both use SMT signal terminals and metal-shell mounting pads. Their mating profiles, contact counts and board layouts differ and should be selected by exact model.
| Characteristic | MU491 | MU492 |
|---|---|---|
| Interface and contacts | Compact female socket; 4 contacts; face type 1 or 2 | Mini USB female socket; 5 contacts |
| Signal termination | SMT | |
| PCB signal pitch | 0.8mm | |
| Rated current | 0.5A | |
| Rated voltage | 30V; AC/DC designation unspecified | |
| Contact resistance | ≤50mΩ | |
| Insulation resistance | 100MΩ; minimum/maximum designation unspecified | |
| Dielectric withstand test | 100VAC for 1 minute | |
| Insulator | PA66; material group I; UL94V-0 | |
| Contact material | Copper alloy | |
The dielectric test is separate from the working-voltage rating. A USB generation, data rate and specific mating counterpart are unspecified; the four-contact MU491 profile should not be substituted for the five-contact MU492 profile.
| Field | Code | Both models |
|---|---|---|
| Housing colour | B | Black |
| Shell plating | 6 | Tin |
| N | Nickel | |
| 8 | Full gold | |
| Contact plating | O | Selective gold flash |
| C | Selective 3µin gold |
The four fields after MU491 specify housing colour, shell plating, contact plating and mating-face type, in that order.
| Field | Code | Selection |
|---|---|---|
| Mating-face type | 1 | Type 1 profile |
| 2 | Type 2 profile |
Dimensions are in millimetres. The recommended PCB-layout tolerance is ±0.05mm. The two mating-face profiles are shown separately in the drawing.
