Hirose GT17HN B Key USB Female Cable

PCM-ZC-0262 is designed for equipment that needs a USB Type A Female connection point linked to a dedicated GT17HN interface. Its P1 end features a molded USB2.0 A/F receptacle, while the opposite end uses the Hirose GT17HN-4DS-2C(B) connector with a matching GT17HN-4DS-HU housing. The green B Key insert identifies the connector configuration and distinguishes it from other keyed versions in the GT17HN family. Rather than using a conventional USB plug at the equipment end, this assembly provides a socket connection for an external USB cable or device.

The two connectors are joined by a 600±20mm cable with a specified 4.6mm outer diameter. Four conductors carry VCC, D-, D+ and GND according to the drawing, with the connector shells connected to ground. The relatively short cable length makes this configuration suitable for equipment layouts where the USB socket and internal GT17HN connection are positioned within a limited distance. It provides a preassembled connection solution with defined connector part numbers, wiring assignments and physical dimensions.

Product Specifications

Product Features

USB Type A Female Receptacle

The P1 connector is a USB2.0 Type A Female receptacle housed in a molded black enclosure. Its socket design provides an accessible connection point for a corresponding USB Type A Male plug. The enclosed metal contact area and shaped cable entry form an integrated connector assembly, making it suitable for equipment designs that require a separately positioned USB socket. This arrangement also allows the USB connection point to be routed away from the main equipment interface through a dedicated cable.

Hirose B Key Connector Configuration

The equipment side uses the Hirose GT17HN-4DS-2C(B) insulation case together with the GT17HN-4DS-HU housing. The green insert identifies the B Key version, which has a designated mating arrangement within the GT17HN connector family. This distinction matters when a project uses multiple keyed connector versions, as selecting the correct insert is part of maintaining the intended interface configuration. The original part numbers provide a precise reference for component purchasing and assembly control.

Direct Four Contact Wiring

The wiring arrangement follows four defined signal paths between the two connectors. Pin 1 carries VCC through the red conductor, Pin 2 carries D- through the white conductor, Pin 3 carries D+ through the green conductor, and Pin 4 carries GND through the black conductor. Both connector shells are connected to GND as indicated in the drawing. This pin to pin arrangement gives the production team a clear reference for wire termination and electrical continuity inspection without relying on an assumed wiring sequence.

Compact Cable Assembly Dimensions

The 600±20mm finished cable length is suited to installations where the USB socket and GT17HN connection are located relatively close to each other. The cable has a specified 4.6mm outer diameter and uses the construction USB2.0 (26#/1P+AM)+24#/2C+AB. Transparent PE insulation and a black 45P PVC outer jacket are specified in the material list. The controlled length and cable dimensions provide practical references when allocating internal routing space and planning the assembly process.

Applications and Customization

Panel or Equipment USB Connection

The USB Type A Female end provides a socket connection for equipment that needs an accessible external USB interface. The cable allows the socket and the GT17HN connection point to be arranged separately within the equipment structure, rather than requiring both interfaces to occupy the same mounting location.

GT17HN B Key Interface Integration

The specified B Key connector is intended for equipment designed around the corresponding GT17HN mating interface. Its green identification insert helps distinguish the required connector version during component selection, assembly and maintenance.

Premier Cable OEM Cable Development

Premier Cable can develop cable assemblies according to customer engineering drawings and confirmed project requirements. Connector models, cable length, conductor assignment, cable construction, jacket materials and molded structures can be reviewed during the development stage. Sample preparation, assembly verification, mass production and product identification can be arranged based on the approved specification.

Product Drawing

Product FAQ

Which original Hirose parts are used at the GT17HN end ?

The P2 end uses the GT17HN-4DS-2C(B) insulation case and GT17HN-4DS-HU housing. These specified components form the four contact connector assembly shown in the engineering drawing.

What does the green B Key insert identify ?

The green insert identifies the B Key version of the Hirose GT17HN connector. It distinguishes this configuration from the brown A Key, blue C Key and black D Key versions in the same connector family.

What is the purpose of the USB Type A Female connector on this cable ?

The USB Type A Female connector provides a socket for an external USB Type A Male plug. It is intended for equipment layouts that require a separate USB connection point linked to a dedicated GT17HN interface.

What are the cable length and electrical requirements ?

The finished cable length is 600±20mm, with a 4.6mm outer diameter. The drawing specifies 90Ω characteristic impedance, 480MHz frequency range, 100MΩ Min insulation resistance and 500VRMS Min withstand voltage.

Can Premier Cable produce this assembly with a different cable length ?

Yes. Premier Cable can review alternative cable lengths, connector configurations, wire assignments and cable materials according to customer drawings. The revised specifications are evaluated before sample development and production.
