Molex USB 3.0

Meeting USB 3.0 High Durability Class standards, SuperSpeed connectors provide reliable connectivity while supporting high-temperature, IR-reflow processes for computer, consumer and car product applications.

Molex’s USB 3.0 (also known as SuperSpeed) Type A connectors meet High- Durability Class requirements of 5,000 mating cycles. These USB 3.0 connectors are halogen-free for environmental sustainability and support high, IR reflow temperatures of up to 255°C 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 0.36 to 2.04mm for space-saving and low-profile height applications.

Parts are shipped in selected tape-on-reel or tray packaging.

Features and Benefits

• Meets High-Durability-Class (5000 mating cycles) requirements of USB 3.0 specifications. Sustains robust, reliable connectivity over high frequencies of mating and unmating.
• Meets all USB 3.0 specifications. Provides faster data rates of up to 10 times the theoretical speed of USB 2.0 with improved custom power distribution (that is, ensures devices are sufficiently powered when required).
• High-temperature, halogen-free plastic material used in housing. Withstands IR reflow temperatures of up to 255°C while maintaining solder-mount compatibility in application processes.
• A variety of PCB-mount designs in upright, vertical and right-angle orientation. Gives greater design flexibility and higher degree of design freedom to customers.
• Wide range of contact heights (from 0.36 to 6.09mm). For greater vertical space-savings in low-profile and other applications.
• Standard blue color-coded housings. Distinguishes USB 3.0 connectors from USB 2.0 versions
