• USB Connector Style
  

  Defines connector body style, from largest, Full Size, down thru Mini and Micro.

  • USB2.0 is available in Micro, Mini and Full Size.
  • USB3.0 is available in Micro and Full Size only.

• USB Version
  

  GCT offer connectors for the following USB versions:

  • USB2.0 is suitable to 480 Mbps, with 4 contacts in Full Size, 5 or 10 contacts in Mini and 5 contacts in Micro.
  • USB3.0 (also known as USB3.1 Gen 1 or USB Superspeed) is suitable to 5 Gbps, with 9 contacts in Full Size and 10 contacts in Micro.
  • USB3.1 (also known as USB3.1 Gen 2 or USB Superspeed+) is suitable to 10 Gbps, with 9 contacts in Full Size, 10 contacts in Micro and 24 contacts in type C.

  • 3.2 Gen2
  • 2.0
  • Charge Only
  • 3.0 (1)
• Interface
  

  Full size types are available in both A & B, A is the ‘in-line’ rectangular type, B the square.
  
  Micro receptacles are available in B & A/B. B types accept USB B cable plugs and A/B types accept USB A or B cable plugs. A/B is normally used in On The Go (OTG) applications. Click here for more information.

  Male Plugs mate with Female receptacles. When mated the body of the plug is enveloped by the female USB socket.
  
  For Full Size types, mated connectors are held in place by sprung tangs on the female shell which latch into two cavities on the male shell.
  
  Micro types have the opposite arrangement with tangs on the male shell and cavity on female shells, this is a key reason why USB Micro receptacles are suitable for ten thousand mating cycles.

  • Receptacle (socket) (1)
  • Plug
  • Dual Receptacle
• Number of Contacts
  

  USB2.0 Full Size are 4 contact. USB2.0 Mini* & Micro 5 contact. USB3.0 Full size 9 contacts. USB3.0 micro 10 contacts.
  
  2x4 and 2x9 options define dual receptacles (stacked connector).
  
  *GCT offer a special Mini with 10 contacts.

• PCB Orientation
  

  Position of the connector mating face relative to the PCB. Vertical (straight) is 90° to the PCB, horizontal (right angle) is 180° to the PCB. Upright/flag types have the connector mounted on its side.

  • Horizontal (4)
  • Vertical (1)
  • Flag
• Contact Pin Type
  

  Termination method of soldering connector onto PCB. Through hole (TH), surface mount (SMT) or Hybrid.
  
  The horizontal hybrid types allow better control over co-planarity of SMT contacts and alignment of thru hole pins. From an inspection point of view the hybrid allows customers to inspect the connectors post processing, as viewing the inner rows of contacts on pure SMT parts is difficult. The hybrid type may be processed using paste in hole, which allows a single process.

  • Surface Mount
  • Through Hole (1)
  • Hybrid
• Shell Stake Type
  

  This defines whether the USB connector has metal shell stakes, and if so what type. Shell stakes are used to hold the connector in place during reflow solder process and provide extra strength post soldering. They also provide grounding.

  • Outer shell stake
  • Surface Mount
  • Through Hole (1)
• Locating Peg
  

  Plastic locating pegs to hold the connector in place during solder process and may provide extra strength post soldering. Also known as plastic post.

• Mating Cycles
  

  The number of repeated connection/disconnections the connector can withstand whilst still meeting the specifications for contact resistance and mating forces.

  • 1,500
  • 5,000
  • 10,000
  • 20,000 (1)
• Mating Face Lead In
  

  Defines whether the connectors mating face includes a lead-in which helps guide mating connectors into place. For applications where customers prefer the connector not to have a lead-in, we offer ‘without mating face’ for flush fitting.
  
  ‘With and without mating face lead in’ defines a drawing with an optional lead in.

  • With (1)
  • Without
• Current Rating
  

  The maximum current in amperes at the rated voltage that the connector will carry continuously under defined conditions without exceeding specified performance limits.

  • 1A
  • 2A
  • 1.5A
  • 1.8A
  • 2.8A
