Some USB connectors don’t comply with the required USB specifications, which can cause costly electrical damage. Most of our USB products are TID certified and comply with various dimensions to help prevent costly electrical damage. Molex’s USB Type-C I/O connectors use high-temperature plastic as housing material and a 3-tier insert-molding process to help ensure high mating durability. The mating tongue design protects the interconnects from possible damage caused by mishandling, shipment or assembly processes. With 3.0A/5.0A current to enable faster and safer charging, Molex offers a wide range of USB Type-C Connectors that are physically robust and electrically reliable.
Many consumer and industrial applications experience wet conditions that could cause failure in connectors. USB 2.0 and Micro-B offer an IP67-rated waterproof option that withstands post-solder reflow while minimizing water ingression. With an IP*8 rating/waterproof option and up to 40 Gbps (USB4 Gen 4 speed), Molex offers a wide range of USB type connectors.
Industries are challenged to meet more complex design requirements and therefore need design flexibility for their applications. Molex hybrid USB receptacles and plugs offer a wide range of options that include USB 4, Gen 3 and Gen 4, USB 3.0, USB 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2, USB 3.1, USB 2.0, USB-C, Micro USB, and Mini USB. These are all available with 4-, 5-, 6-, 9-, 14-, 16- and 24- circuit sizes.
As devices in various markets become increasingly small, manufacturers require reliable compact connectors for their designs. Micro USB connectors offer a compact connector design, reliability and an overmolded receptacle for optimal space savings.
