-
Networking & Telecom Equipment : Delivers stable 5 Gbps SuperSpeed data transfer for routers and network switches, ensuring reliable high-speed local data access for firmware updates and diagnostics.
-
Test & Measurement Instruments : Provides guaranteed signal integrity and exceptional long-term mechanical durability for oscilloscopes and analytical devices demanding constant peripheral plug-ins.
-
Smart Kiosks & Vending Machines : Offers a mechanically secure, through-hole elevated connection for internal control boards, accommodating complex cabling layouts in constrained chassis spaces.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of the "Elevated" design?
The elevated standoff design raises the connector body slightly above the PCB surface. This provides critical Z-axis clearance, allowing hardware engineers to route traces or mount low-profile passive components (like resistors or capacitors) directly underneath the receptacle to save space.
Is this connector backward compatible with older USB 2.0 plugs?
Yes. The 9-pin configuration includes the standard 4 pins for USB 2.0 (power, ground, and D+/D- data), ensuring full backward compatibility with legacy USB Type-A hardware.
What is the standard MOQ and lead time?
Our standard Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) is typically 1,000 pieces per tray packing. Standard lead time is 2 to 4 weeks, with expedited prototype batches available in 3-5 days for OEM partners.
Can the gold plating thickness on the contacts be customized?
Absolutely. As an OEM manufacturer, we offer customizable gold plating options (e.g., Gold Flash, 15μ", or 30μ") to meet your specific environmental corrosion resistance requirements.
Are 3D CAD models and PCB footprints available?
Yes. We provide comprehensive engineering support, including 2D drawings, 3D STEP models, and recommended PCB layout dimensions to accelerate your design-in process.
Overview and Application Notes
Overview: The USB 3.0 Type-A Receptacle (Elevated) is engineered for SuperSpeed data transfer (up to 5 Gbps) and robust mechanical stability in complex PCB layouts. Featuring a horizontal top-mount and elevated design, this 9-pin connector provides additional vertical clearance, allowing hardware engineers to strategically place low-profile components beneath the receptacle. Terminated via secure through-hole pins, it delivers exceptional resistance to shock and vibration. Manufactured to strict industrial standards, it guarantees a lifespan of up to 10,000 mating cycles. As a factory-direct OEM/ODM manufacturer, EDOM Electronics offers reliable high-volume production and customizable specifications to perfectly align with your assembly requirements.
Application Notes:
-
Impedance Control: Ensure precise PCB trace routing with 90-ohm differential impedance for the SuperSpeed (TX/RX) data lines to prevent signal loss at 5 Gbps.
-
Clearance Optimization: Utilize the elevated standoff height to route critical traces or place decoupling capacitors and small passive components directly under the connector housing, saving valuable PCB real estate.
-
Wave Soldering: The high-temperature thermoplastic housing and through-hole pins are fully compatible with standard wave soldering processes.
-
EMI/RFI Shielding: Securely solder the through-hole shell stakes directly to the PCB ground plane to maximize Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) protection in electrically noisy industrial environments.
