5000 mating cycles endorse connector durability
Molex’s USB 3.0 (also known as SuperSpeed) Type A connectors that meet high- durability class requirements of 5,000 mating cycles can now be ordered from TTI. The devices are for use in computer, consumer and car product applications. The USB 3.0 connectors are halogen-free for environmental sustainability and support high, IR reflow temperatures of up to +255degC while maintaining solder mount compatibility.
The connectors come in on-board style, top- or reverse-mount, upright and vertical orientations. Dual-stacked versions are available for additional mating requirements.
Molex also offers reverse, mid-mount style (or sink-type) receptacles with contact heights that range from 0.36mm up to 2.04mm for space-saving and low-profile height applications.
