InLine USB 3.1 Snap-In module, USB-A F/F, 90° angled, black housing

The InLine USB 3.1 Snap-In module is a compact USB-A female connector in a 90° angled black housing designed for panel or chassis mounting where space is limited. It supports USB 3.1 (Gen 1) data rates while remaining backward compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 devices, providing reliable high-speed data transfer and broad device compatibility. The snap-in design secures the module in a cut-out without additional screws, and the right-angle orientation helps route cables along surfaces or into enclosures with minimal clearance.

Advantages

The 90° angled USB-A F/F Snap-In module offers a space-saving form factor that simplifies installation in tight or shallow housings. Support for USB 3.1 (Gen 1) ensures throughput suitable for common peripheral devices while maintaining backward compatibility. The black housing combines mechanical protection with a neutral appearance for industrial or consumer equipment. The snap-in mounting reduces assembly time and eliminates the need for separate fastening hardware.

Suitable for

• Panel or chassis mounting in desktop enclosures and instrument cases
• Rear or side ports in compact PCs, media players and set-top boxes
• Embedded systems, industrial control panels and kiosks
• Retrofit installations where space is limited and cable routing requires a right-angle connector

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB-A female, right-angle (90°)
• Interface: USB 3.1 (Gen 1) with backward compatibility to USB 3.0/2.0
• Mounting: Snap-in for panel/chassis cut-outs
• Housing colour: Black
• Application: Data transfer and peripheral connection

How to use

Prepare the panel or chassis cut-out to the required dimensions and insert the snap-in module from the outside until it locks into place. From the rear side, connect the mating USB-A cable or internal wiring to the module to establish the data link. Ensure mating connectors are fully seated to maintain reliable electrical contact. Use the right-angle orientation to guide cables along the enclosure interior, avoiding tight bends at the cable entry point.

Recommendations

Verify the panel thickness and cut-out dimensions before installation to ensure the snap-in retention engages correctly. For optimal performance, use USB 3.1 (Gen 1) compliant cables for high-speed transfers and avoid sharp cable bends near the connector. If used in industrial environments, consider strain relief and cable routing to reduce mechanical stress on the module.
