USB port, QPAC

The QIAGEN USB port replacement component is a dedicated connectivity module for QPAC-series laboratory instrumentation. The part restores reliable data-link communication between the benchtop analyzer and its controlling workstation when the original receptacle has failed due to mechanical wear, bent pins, or repeated mating cycles.

The module installs onto the QPAC mainboard or rear I/O panel, providing a standard USB type-B female receptacle that accepts the upstream cable shipped with the instrument. The connector supports the signaling used for run-log transfer, firmware upload, and remote instrument monitoring through QIAGEN software suites, making it a practical spare for any lab running sequencing or sample-preparation workflows on this platform.

Material choices on the connector shell — typically nickel-plated steel with a thermoplastic insulator — give the port stable insertion force and rated mating durability for daily use. The module ships as a single replacement part in an anti-static pouch, ready for installation by a qualified service technician during scheduled maintenance or troubleshooting.
