Molex USB Type-C Cable Assemblies

Molex USB Type-C Cable Assemblies offer greater PCB savings while enabling high-frequency mating in data, consumer, and other I/O applications. These Type-C connectors feature maximum data throughput of 10Gbps and a current-carrying capacity of 5A. The 5A current rating reduces battery charging time by 64% compared to the micro-USB 2.0 current rating of 1.8A. These connectors and cable assemblies are also available in mid- and top-mount versions. Applications for Molex USB Type-C Cable Assemblies include data and computing, telecommunications, networking, consumer, automotive, and industrial.

Features

Support for 5A of power in plug and receptacles reduces battery-charging time
Mid-plate connector "tongue" design in the receptacle ensures high reliability
High-temperature Nylon insert-mold receptacle housing increases connector strength
Availability of cable options meets USB 2.0 and USB 3.1 speeds

Single-piece metal shell on the cable plug provides easy identification
Mylar between plug housing and shell prevents potential electrical shorting during mating
High normal force terminal design on the plug stabilizes electrical performance
