Application Scenarios
-
PCB Footprint & Coplanarity: Ensure strict adherence to the recommended PCB layout tolerances (1.00mm pitch) to maintain SMT pad coplanarity during reflow soldering.
-
Mechanical Grounding: The through-hole steel shell stakes must be securely soldered to the PCB ground plane. This is critical for absorbing the mechanical stress of frequent plugging (5,000 cycles) and providing effective 360° EMI/RFI shielding.
-
Thermal Profiling: The high-temperature black LCP housing supports standard lead-free SMT reflow soldering processes within an operating temperature range of -25°C to +85°C. Ensure thermal profiles adhere to standard JEDEC guidelines.
-
Impedance Control: Maintain 90Ω differential impedance routing on the PCB for the SuperSpeed data traces to prevent signal degradation and maintain 5 Gbps performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this vertical USB connector suitable for automated SMT assembly?
Yes. The signal contacts are designed for Surface Mount Technology (SMT), and the housing is molded from high-temperature black LCP to withstand standard lead-free reflow soldering profiles. The parts include a pick-and-place cap and are supplied in tape-and-reel packaging for automated placement machines.
What are the durability rating and electrical specifications of this receptacle?
The receptacle is rated for 5,000 mating cycles. Electrically, it supports a contact current rating of 1.5A, a contact resistance of 30 mΩ max, insulation resistance of 1000 MΩ min, and dielectric withstanding voltage of 500V AC (for 1 minute).
Can we request thicker gold plating for demanding applications?
Yes. While our standard configuration features 1u" gold plating on the contact interface, EDOM provides custom OEM plating options up to 30µ" (micro-inches) to enhance corrosion resistance and electrical reliability in harsh environments.
What materials are used for the housing, contacts, and outer shell?
The insulator is molded from high-temperature black LCP (UL 94V-0 rated). The contacts are copper alloy plated with 1u" gold on the mating area and 100u" tin on solder tails. The outer shielding shell is made of steel with 50u" minimum nickel plating for robust EMI shielding and mechanical ground retention.
Are you a direct manufacturer? What is the standard MOQ and lead time?
EDOM is an ISO-certified direct connector manufacturer. We support flexible MOQs for engineering evaluation and prototyping, with standard mass production lead times typically between 2 to 3 weeks based on volume and packaging requirements.
