Keystone Electronics Corp.’s USB 3.1 Type C Interconnects are said to deliver significant PCB real estate reductions to accommodate a variety of devices.
NEW HYDE PARK, N.Y.—Faster data transfer speeds, increased power transmission, and smaller PCB footprints are reported to be key advantages of an advanced new series of USB Type C Plugs and Sockets from Keystone Electronics Corp.
USB-C technology is the new standard for charging a whole range of electrical devices. According to a release from Keystone Electronics, the company’s new USB 3.1 Type C Interconnects are well-suited for use with future high-tech devices, such as HD video, data, and charging ports without separate power adapters.
The small-footprint USBs are said to deliver significant PCB real estate reductions to accommodate a variety of devices. This allows them to be “plugged in backwards, upside down, and still function for worry-free connections.” The USB-1 standards supported by these devices include 10Gbps top speed and up to 20V (100W), 3Amp Output; bidirectional power; and orientation-free cable applications, the company said in the release.
For standard or custom USB-C cable assemblies, Keystone offers a Type C Plug Kit (Cat. No. 954), supplied unassembled with a metal housing shell to ensure excellent strain relief. The insulating material for the plug is UL94V-0 rated. For circuit board socket use, USB-C receptacle (Cat. No. 953) is said to offer a hybrid mount configuration, aiding surface mount technology (SMT) contact efficiency with strong, durable solder connections to PCBs with THM devices.
Keystone Electronics Corp. offers a comprehensive line of interconnect components and electronic hardware. All of Keystone’s USB products are available through Keystone’s global distribution network. Modifications, special designs, stamping, machining, assembly services, and application-engineering support are also available, the company said.
Keystone is ISO 9001:2015 certified, with headquarters in the United States and global offices in Europe, Canada, Asia, and Australia.
