I am planning to use this USB connector but I am having trouble finding the pin-out:

https://www.digikey.in/product-detail/en/USB-A1SSW6/ED2991-ND/2677752

I checked 3-4 different manufacturers and all of them give just the drawing and package info. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks

    \$\begingroup\$ Physical connector data sheets do not typically give the role of the pins but only the numbers. The pins are numbered in the drawing. The role of the pin numbers is in the USB spec and all over the net. You merely need to put the two together. If in doubt, wait to design the board until you have the part in hand and can verify it with an ohm meter. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ As Chris Stratton said, the pinout is part of the USB specification. In this case, Wikipedia is very helpful - please see their USB page here. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Thanks @bitsmack. Looks like 1,2,3,4 are named as +,D-,D+,- in general. Will design accordingly and as Chris pointed out, would rather check with a component before placing the order. \$\endgroup\$

Follow USB spec. Here is an image showing the pin and nets:

Tie the shell to GND as well.

Datasheet has the pin numbering:
