Hirose GT17HN-4DS-2C(B) USB 2.0 Male Cable

USB2.0 Male Cable with GT17HNS B Key Termination

PCM-ZC-0237 is a USB2.0 cable assembly developed for equipment using a dedicated GT17HN B Key connection. One end carries a standard USB2.0 Type A Male plug, while the opposite end incorporates the GT17HN-4DS-2C(B) connector and GT17HNS-4DS-HU housing. The green keyed insert identifies the B Key configuration, distinguishing this version from other connector arrangements within the GT17HN family.

Unlike a conventional USB extension lead, this assembly is built around a specific equipment side connector combination. Its 2000±20mm cable provides the required routing distance between the USB host connection and the GT17HN interface. A 20mm black single wall casing is also specified near the equipment end, adding a separate protective sleeve to the connector cable transition. The result is a purpose configured cable assembly for equipment integration where both connector selection and physical termination details matter.

Product Specifications

Connector and Cable Construction

Green B Key Connector Identification

The equipment side uses the GT17HN-4DS-2C(B) connector with a green B Key insert. The keying structure defines the intended mating orientation and helps distinguish this connector from other GT17HN versions. The connector is installed within the GT17HNS-4DS-HU housing, forming the specified four contact assembly. For equipment manufacturers managing several connector variants, the exact connector and housing part numbers are important references during component sourcing, assembly preparation and replacement cable selection.

Dual Row Four Contact Layout

The GT17HN interface uses four contacts arranged in two rows. Each position has a defined electrical assignment rather than being treated as an interchangeable terminal. Pin 1 carries VCC, Pin 2 carries D-, Pin 3 carries D+ and Pin 4 carries GND. The connector face and key position should be referenced together when preparing mating components or checking the wiring orientation. This is particularly important when a project uses multiple keyed versions of the same connector family.

Defined Cable Circuit and Ground Connection

The cable follows a four wire USB2.0 circuit arrangement using red, white, green and black conductors. The wiring drawing assigns these colors to VCC, D-, D+ and GND respectively. Both connector shells are also connected to GND. The cable construction is specified as USB2.0 (26#/1P+AM)+24#/2C+AB, with a 90Ω characteristic impedance and a specified frequency range of 480MHz. These electrical details provide clear references for cable assembly production and inspection without assuming additional protocols or functions.

Separate Protective Sleeve at the Connector End

A distinctive mechanical detail of PCM-ZC-0237 is its black single wall casing near the equipment connector. The drawing specifies a 5.0mm outer diameter and 20mm length for this sleeve. It is separate from the main cable jacket, which has a 4.6mm outer diameter and uses black 45P PVC compound. This distinction matters when evaluating the finished connector end, installation clearance and cable transition dimensions. Both the sleeve and cable dimensions are included in the assembly specification for manufacturing reference.

Applications and OEM Customization

Cable and Electrical Modifications

Cable length, outer jacket, shielding construction, conductor arrangement and pin assignment can be reviewed for different project requirements. Electrical characteristics and circuit changes are subject to engineering evaluation before production.

Connector and Housing Configuration

Premier Cable supports connector configuration reviews based on customer drawings and original component references. Connector type, gender, keying arrangement and housing selection can be evaluated according to the required mating interface.

Extended USB Connection Routing

The 2000mm cable length accommodates installations where the USB host port and equipment connection are positioned apart. It can be evaluated for automotive electronic equipment, infotainment modules and other equipment integration projects requiring this specific USB2.0 to GT17HN connection.

B Key Equipment Interface Integration

PCM-ZC-0237 is intended for equipment designs specifying a GT17HN B Key connection. The green keyed insert and defined four contact arrangement provide a clear connector reference for equipment interface selection. The actual mating connector and electrical requirements should be verified against the target equipment drawing.

OEM Production Support

Premier Cable supports drawing review, sample development, prototype verification and mass production. Product identification labels and packaging can also be arranged according to confirmed project specifications.

Product Drawing

Product FAQ

Does the green connector insert indicate B Key ?

Yes. The green insert identifies the B Key configuration shown in the product design. The corresponding mating connector should be selected according to the same keying arrangement.

What do GT17HN-4DS-2C(B) and GT17HNS-4DS-HU identify ?

GT17HN-4DS-2C(B) identifies the connector, while GT17HNS-4DS-HU identifies its corresponding housing. Both references are needed to specify the equipment side configuration.

What is the purpose of the additional single wall casing ?

The assembly includes a separate black single wall casing with a 5.0mm outer diameter and 20mm length. It is specified as an additional protective component near the connector end.

What is the main difference between PCM-ZC-0237 and a standard USB2.0 cable ?

PCM-ZC-0237 replaces the conventional USB connection at the equipment end with a dedicated GT17HN B Key interface. It combines the USB2.0 Type A Male plug with a specified four contact connector and housing configuration.

Can Premier Cable produce this cable with a different length or wiring arrangement ?

Yes. Premier Cable can evaluate changes to cable length, connector configuration, pin assignment and cable construction based on customer drawings or samples. Prototype and production requirements can be reviewed before order confirmation.
