Buying into USB Type-C speed and reliability

Rutronik is offering Molex’ USB Type-C connectors which future-proof interface solutions for industrial and consumer electronics applications. The connectors support data rates up to 40 Gbit/s (USB4), currents up to 5.0 A and power delivery up to 100 W. The connectors suit applications with high power requirements and limited space, such as portable medical devices, industrial electronics, AR/VR systems and smart home appliances.

Thanks to their compact design, IPX8-certified variants and high mechanical robustness (up to 10,000 mating cycles), the components suit applications where reliability and continuous operation are key. Mounting options, including vertical, top and mid-mount versions, offer maximum design flexibility in a small space.

Specifications include: mating force 5 to 20 N; unmating force 8 to 20 N (1 to 30 cycles), 6 to 20 N (after 10,000 cycles); sockets with liquid protection according to IPX8, thanks to silicone rubber moldings; and variants with 6, 14, 16 or 24 contacts.
