Micro-USB
Interconnects Save Space and Accelerate Data Transfer
A new series of advanced Micro-USB plugs and sockets
with up to 4.8Gbps data transfer speeds is now available from Keystone
Electronics Corp. These sockets reduce PCB footprints and support On-the Go
(OTG) technology for mobile device connectivity without a host computer.
Designed for increased durability, the new USB 2.0 and
USB 3.0 products can withstand greater than 10,000 mating cycles. Micro
configurations provide the smallest PCB footprint of all USB interconnects,
significantly reducing PCB real estate. In addition, a unique socket lead-in
design enables blind-mating with the plug. Plugs and Sockets are manufactured
with gold plated contacts for reliability and low contact resistance.
Cat. No. 940TR is a surface mountable Micro-USB 2.0
Type B socket. It is available on tape and reel to simplify pick and place
installation. Insulating material is UL94V-0 rated. Cat. No. 955 is a thru-hole
mountable Micro-USB, 3.0 Type B Socket that delivers data transfer speeds to
4.8Gbps. All USB 3.0 sockets are backward compatible with USB 2.0 plugs. They
are ideal for use by numerous electronic devices such as digital cameras,
mobile phones, flash drives and computer peripherals.
Keystone's Type B Micro-USB Plug kits, Cat. No. 941
for USB 2.0 applications and Cat. No. 957 for USB 3.0 applications, are well
suited for creating custom cable assemblies. Kits supplied with an unassembled
