Overview and Application Notes
Overview: Engineered for demanding industrial peripheral connections, this USB 3.0 Type-B receptacle delivers SuperSpeed data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps with robust mechanical stability. Featuring a horizontal right-angle (90-degree DIP) through-hole design with harpoon retention legs (2.60mm terminal length), it provides superior board-level retention and vibration resistance. Constructed with a blue halogen-free PBT insulator (UL 94V-0), phosphor bronze and copper alloy contacts with 30u” gold plating, and a nickel-plated SPCC shell, it operates reliably across an extended temperature range of -55°C to +105°C and supports a standard durability of 1,500 mating cycles. As an ISO-certified direct manufacturer, EDOM Electronics provides factory-direct pricing, scalable production, and customized contact plating to meet your exact engineering requirements.
Application Notes:
-
Mechanical Grounding & Harpoon Stakes: The SPCC shell is equipped with through-hole harpoon board locks that must be soldered securely to the PCB ground plane to dissipate mechanical strain during cable mating (1,500 cycles) and provide 360° EMI/RFI shielding.
-
PCB Footprint Tolerances: Follow the recommended layout dimensions (4-φ0.92mm for USB 2.0 contacts, 5-φ0.75mm for SuperSpeed contacts, and 2-φ2.20mm for harpoon retention stakes) to ensure proper DIP alignment and prevent terminal bending.
-
Thermal Compatibility: Molded from halogen-free PBT (UL 94V-0), the housing is fully compatible with standard lead-free wave soldering profiles within the operating temperature range of -55°C to +105°C.
-
Impedance Control: Maintain 90Ω differential trace impedance on the PCB for SuperSpeed (TX/RX) differential pairs to prevent signal degradation at 5 Gbps.
