Molex brings you a series of 3.1 type C USB surface mount connectors. These USB C connectors provide a fantastic solution for both power and data in one connection whilst giving you data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s. The USB C 3.1 connectors have the unique reversible mating feature, allowing them to be connected in any orientation first time every time.

Type C USB connectors are designed to join two electrical USB devices together. These USB C connectors are commonly included in devices like laptops, phones, and tablets and have a 40 to 64% faster-charging rate over traditional USB cables.

This Molex 3.1 type C USB surface mount connector is made from a copper alloy, with its premium build quality, it brings fantastic durability of up to 10,000 mating cycles.

• Right-angle body orientation.


• The temperature range of this connector -is 30°C to +85°C increasing its durability


• Wire-to-Board application giving it versatility across various platforms


• Up to 10 Gbit/s transfer speed


• Utilizes 3 insert mould processes on the receptacle to increase the strength of its mating tongue providing superior soldering performance.

This USB (universal serial bus) connector from Molex transmits power and data between devices at very high speeds. It features the latest USB 3.1 technology, giving you data transfer rates of up to 10Gbps (gigabits per second) and over 100W of power delivery. It's surface-mounted, meaning it's soldered directly to your PCB for a strong connection that won't come loose, even when subjected to heavy vibrations. This USB connector has a convenient reversible feature that means you can insert and remove it without worrying about the plug's orientation.

• Mechanical service life of 10,000 operations for reliable long-term performance
• Wide operating temperature range of -30°C to +85°C for use in harsh environments
• Gold-plated copper-alloy contacts are highly conductive and resistant to corrosion
• Resin interior made from high-temperature thermoplastic is resistant to impact and can withstand extreme heat

• Recording systems
• Mobile devices
• Computer systems

No. USB Type-C cables and ports can be used for USB 3.1, depending on the host controller and devices, but they're also backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 3.0 components.
