**FAQs**
**Q: Is this connector compatible with USB 3.0 cables?**
A: Yes, it supports USB 2.0 speeds and maintains mechanical backward compatibility with USB 3.0 Type-A plugs.

**Q: What is the contact plating thickness?**
A: Molex specifies gold plating for optimal conductivity and wear resistance; exact thickness is detailed in the datasheet.

**Q: Can it withstand high-vibration environments?**
A: Absolutely. The steel shield and board lock feature provide mechanical stability in industrial settings.

**Q: Does PCX offer samples for prototyping?**
A: Yes! PCX provides samples with quick-turn shipping—contact our support team for requests.

**Q: What’s the difference between vertical and right-angle mounts?**
A: Right-angle (vertical) mounts save horizontal PCB space by orienting the port perpendicular to the board, ideal for slim designs.

**Q: Is the shielding connected to the PCB ground?**
A: Yes, the steel shield creates a grounded Faraday cage when soldered to the PCB, reducing EMI.
