Type A USB 3.0 Connectors with a robust and reliable design that meets the High-Durability-Class requirements of USB 3.0 specifications and able to withstand 5000 mating cycles. These USB 3.0 connectors provide a high-speed data rate 10 times faster than USB 2.0 and ensures that devices are powered sufficiently when required. The housings of these USB 3.0 connectors are made from high temperature halogen free blue nylon that can withstand IR (infrared) reflow temperatures of up to 225°C. Keying and polarization features enable accurate mating with the plug connector. PCB location and retention features provide accurate positioning and a secure connection on the PCB. These USB 3.0 connectors are available with a range of mounting configurations for design flexibility and stacked, dual port versions are also available. The Different contact heights on the connectors allow for vertical space savings when used in low profile applications.

Use this USB connector from Molex to get on board with fast data transfer. As it's a USB 3.0 type, it supports high-speed communications up to 4.8Gbps. Through-hole mounting gives you a solid connection to the top of your PCB. As the socket sits at a right angle, it's handy for fitting inside low-profile devices. Thanks to the heat-resistant thermoplastic resin, the connector has a wide operating temperature between -20°C and +85°C, so hot-running machines and industrial environments won't trouble it.

• Industry standard blue housing gives you an instantly recognisable port type
• Backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 for versatility
• Copper alloy contacts provide a reliable connection

• Industrial automation
• Telecommunications networks
• Security systems

As it has an over-moulded socket, this USB is mechanically strong and durable enough to last through 5,000 mating cycles.
