Molex USB 3.0 Connectors

Molex USB 3.0 Connectors provide reliable connectivity while meeting USB 3.0 High-Durability Class requirements of 5000 mating cycles. These USB 3.0 connectors are halogen-free for environmental sustainability and support high, IR reflow temperatures of up to +255°C while maintaining solder mount compatibility. These Molex connectors come in on-board style, top- or reverse-mount, upright, and vertical orientations. Dual-stacked versions are available for additional mating requirements. Also available are reverse, mid-mount style (or sink-type) receptacles with contact heights that range from 0.36mm to 2.04mm for space-saving and low-profile height applications.
