Molex Right Angle, Through Hole, Socket- Single Port Type A 3.0 USB Connector

Type A USB 3.0 Connectors with a robust and reliable design that meets the High-Durability-Class requirements of USB 3.0 specifications and able to withstand 5000 mating cycles. These USB 3.0 connectors provide a high-speed data rate 10 times faster than USB 2.0 and ensures that devices are powered sufficiently when required. The housings of these USB 3.0 connectors are made from high temperature halogen free blue nylon that can withstand IR (infrared) reflow temperatures of up to 225°C. Keying and polarization features enable accurate mating with the plug connector. PCB location and retention features provide accurate positioning and a secure connection on the PCB. These USB 3.0 connectors are available with a range of mounting configurations for design flexibility and stacked, dual port versions are also available. The Different contact heights on the connectors allow for vertical space savings when used in low profile applications.
