2.8 Connectors and Receptacles

When implementing a through-hole receptacle (like a USB Standard-A), TI recommends making high-speed differential signal connections to the receptacle on the bottom layer of the PCB. Making these connections on the bottom layer of the PCB prevents the through-hole pin from acting as a stub in the transmission path. For surface-mount receptacles such as USB Micro-B and Micro-AB, make high-speed differential signal connections on the top layer. Making these connections on the top layer eliminates the need for vias in the transmission path. For examples of USB through-hole receptacle connections, see Figure 2-10.
