Mouser Launches The New Hirose ZX360 Series Micro USB 3.0 Connectors!

Mansfield, Texas, USA — January 27, 2011 - Mouser Electronics, Inc., regarded as a top global engineering design resource for semiconductors and electronic components, today announced it is stocking new product from Hirose Electric.
    Hirose ZX360 Series Micro USB 3.0 Connectors are ideal for small handheld device applications such as medical and measuring equipment, MP3 players, notebooks, and much more. Fully backward compatible with USB 2.0, the ZX360 Series was designed with a data transmission speed up to 5Gbps, enabling seamless data transfer rates and and uncompressed transmission of High Definition movies and pictures. The structure of the connector is in two joined sections. The first section features a USB 2.0 interface to allow for a power charge connection and the other is the USB 3.0 for Superspeed transmission. Hirose has designed the ZX360 Series Micro USB 3.0 Connectors with an innovative plug that allows the cable to be soldered internally to a small PCB, instead of directly on to the contacts. This reduces the mechanical stress applied to the contacts. The durable, powerful ZX360 Series provides a current capacity increase to 900 mA and achieves 10,000 mating cycles.
