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.

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.

Gender

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.

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.

Mount Type

Termination method of soldering connector onto PCB. Through hole (TH) or surface mount (SMT).

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 (26)

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.

Shell Stake

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.

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.

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.

GCT offers an industry leading range of Vertical USB connectors, which are available in multiple USB connector interfaces:

Type C receptacle
USB3.0 receptacle type A
USB2.0 Micro plug and receptacle types in B and AB interface.
USB2.0 Standard type

All connectors are vertical (straight up / perpendicular) orientation in relation to the printed circuit board. Connectors are available thru hole or SMT, depending on range.

Product specifications, technical drawings and 3d models are available for instant download.

All vertical USB connectors are fully RoHS & Reach compliant.
