Hirose GT17HN-4DS-2C(A) Right Angle USB Cable

PCM-ZC-0245 is a USB2.0 cable assembly developed for equipment requiring a Type A Female connection on one side and a dedicated Hirose GT17HN interface on the other. The USB end features a molded female receptacle, while the equipment end uses the GT17HN-4DS-2C(A) connector with its matching GT17HN-4DS-HU housing. The brown A Key insert identifies the connector's specific mating configuration, giving this assembly a distinct position within the GT17HN connector family.

A 600±20mm cable links the two interfaces, with a specified outer diameter of 4.6mm. The equipment side features a four contact, two row arrangement, while the right angle connector orientation provides a defined cable exit direction. The wiring follows the USB signal assignment, connecting VCC, D-, D+ and GND between corresponding contacts. This configuration is intended for equipment designs that require a USB socket and a keyed GT17HN connection within the same cable assembly.

Product Features

Brown A Key Connector Identification

The equipment side uses the Hirose GT17HN-4DS-2C(A) connector, featuring a brown A Key insert. This keyed structure identifies the intended connector configuration within the GT17HN family and distinguishes it from other key variations. The matching GT17HN-4DS-HU housing completes the connector assembly. Retaining the specified original part numbers is particularly important for projects where several GT17HN configurations are used across different equipment models or assembly locations.

Two Row Contact Arrangement

The GT17HN equipment connector uses four contacts arranged in two rows, providing separate positions for the defined USB signal connections. Its right angle orientation establishes the direction in which the cable leaves the connector, which is an important mechanical consideration when the mating interface is installed within limited equipment space. The connector housing and keyed insert maintain the specified configuration shown in the engineering drawing.

USB Signal Assignment and Ground Connection

The four conductors follow a defined pin assignment: red for VCC, white for D-, green for D+ and black for GND. Each signal is connected between the corresponding contacts of the USB Type A Female and GT17HN connectors. Both connector shells are also connected to GND. This wiring definition provides a clear basis for cable termination, continuity testing and inspection of the finished assembly, helping prevent confusion between individual conductors during production.

Controlled Cable Dimensions and Materials

The cable assembly is specified at 600±20mm in finished length and 4.6mm in outer diameter. Its construction is listed as USB2.0 (26#/1P+AM)+24#/2C+AB, with transparent PE insulation and a black 45P PVC compound outer jacket. These material and dimensional details provide useful references when reviewing the available routing space, cable handling requirements and production consistency for equipment integration.

Applications and Customization

A Key Interface Integration

PCM-ZC-0245 is intended for equipment using the Hirose GT17HN A Key connection. The brown keyed insert helps identify the specified interface configuration when selecting components for equipment assemblies that use different GT17HN connector versions.

USB Socket Extension

The USB2.0 Type A Female end provides a separate socket connection point, while the GT17HN connector links the cable to the equipment side. The 600mm cable allows the two connection positions to be arranged independently within the available installation space.

Product FAQ

What distinguishes the GT17HN A Key connector from other key versions ?

The GT17HN A Key version uses a brown keyed insert to identify its specific mating configuration. PCM-ZC-0245 uses the original GT17HN-4DS-2C(A) connector with the matching GT17HN-4DS-HU housing.

Why does this cable use a right angle GT17HN connector ?

The right angle connector orientation determines the cable exit direction at the equipment side. This arrangement can be considered when the connector is installed in equipment with limited space around the mating interface.

What is the electrical connection between the two cable ends ?

The four conductors connect corresponding pins for VCC, D-, D+ and GND. The red, white, green and black wires follow the specified pin assignment, and both connector shells are connected to GND.

What cable dimensions should be considered during installation ?

The finished cable length is 600±20mm and the outer diameter is 4.6mm. These dimensions should be considered when allocating the cable route and checking the available space inside the equipment.

Can Premier Cable manufacture other GT17HN cable configurations ?

Yes. Premier Cable can review different GT17HN connector versions, cable lengths, wire assignments and cable materials according to customer drawings. Prototype development and production can proceed after the technical details are confirmed.
