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

PCM-ZC-0250 brings together a standard USB2.0 Type A Male plug and a Hirose GT17HN 4 position connector in one cable assembly. At the equipment end, the GT17HN-4DS-2C(B) insulator is paired with the GT17HN-4DS-HU housing. Its green B Key insert distinguishes this version from other keyed configurations in the GT17HN family, making the connector arrangement easier to identify during component selection and equipment assembly.

The 2000±20mm cable provides a defined connection route between the USB interface and the equipment side connector. Inside the cable, four conductors are assigned to VCC, D-, D+ and GND. Both connector shells are connected to GND according to the wiring drawing. With its 4.6mm cable outer diameter and black outer jacket, this assembly offers a specified physical configuration for equipment projects using a USB plug and a keyed GT17HN connection.

Product Specifications

Product Features

B Key Polarization for Connector Identification

The GT17HN-4DS-2C(B) uses a green B Key insulator, distinguishing it from the brown A Key, blue C Key and black D Key versions in the same connector family. This is more than a color difference: the keying configuration defines the corresponding mating arrangement. For equipment manufacturers working with several GT17HN connector versions, identifying the correct key is important when selecting components and preparing assembly instructions. PCM-ZC-0250 retains the specified B Key configuration shown in the product design.

Standard USB Plug with Molded Cable Entry

The USB2.0 Type A Male end features a metal plug enclosed by a black molded housing. The housing forms the transition between the USB plug and the cable, while the molded cable entry provides a defined termination structure. This familiar USB interface makes the cable straightforward to connect at the USB side, leaving the GT17HN connector to serve the dedicated equipment connection. The two ends therefore have clearly different roles within the same assembly.

Defined Four Wire Circuit Arrangement

The four conductors are assigned according to the product wiring drawing: red for VCC, white for D-, green for D+ and black for GND. Each wire follows its corresponding pin position between the USB Type A Male plug and GT17HN connector. The connector shells are also connected to GND. Keeping the conductor colors and pin assignments clearly identified makes the assembly easier to inspect during wire termination, continuity testing and finished product verification.

Cable Construction for a 2m Assembly

The 2000±20mm finished length is a defining feature of this version. It provides a longer cable route between the USB connection and the equipment side GT17HN interface. The cable has a 4.6mm outer diameter and follows the specified USB2.0 (26#/1P+AM)+24#/2C+AB construction. Transparent PE material and black 45P PVC compound are specified in the drawing. These details allow the cable assembly to be assessed against equipment routing space and manufacturing requirements before production.

Applications and Customization

B Key Connector Integration

This cable assembly is intended for equipment designs that specify a GT17HN B Key connection. The green keyed insulator provides a recognizable configuration for projects where the connector mating key must be selected according to the equipment interface.

Extended Cable Routing

The 2000mm cable length is suited to layouts where the USB connection point and the GT17HN equipment interface are not positioned close together. The cable provides additional routing distance without changing the specified connector arrangement.

Premier Cable OEM Development

Premier Cable supports customized cable assembly projects based on customer drawings and technical requirements. Cable length, connector configuration, wire assignment, cable materials and identification requirements can be evaluated during engineering review. Prototype preparation, production and packaging can be arranged after the specifications are confirmed.

Product Drawing

Product FAQ

What is the finished cable length ?

The specified finished length is 2000±20mm. This dimension defines the cable length between the USB2.0 Type A Male plug and the GT17HN connector end.

Which Hirose part numbers are used in this cable assembly ?

The equipment side uses the GT17HN-4DS-2C(B) insulator and GT17HN-4DS-HU housing. These part numbers identify the specified GT17HN connector configuration used in PCM-ZC-0250.

What does B Key mean on the GT17HN connector ?

B Key identifies the connector's keyed mating configuration. The GT17HN-4DS-2C(B) uses a green insulator, distinguishing it from the A Key, C Key and D Key versions in the same connector family.

How are the USB signals assigned to the four contacts ?

Pin 1 carries VCC through the red wire, Pin 2 carries D- through the white wire, Pin 3 carries D+ through the green wire, and Pin 4 carries GND through the black wire. Both connector shells are also connected to GND.

Can Premier Cable modify the cable length or connector arrangement ?

Yes. Premier Cable can review different cable lengths, connector configurations, wiring assignments and material requirements according to customer drawings. Prototype and production arrangements can be discussed after engineering confirmation.
