Hirose's compact USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C connector is a top-mount version to meet customer requests for a rugged USB connector with a small PCB footprint. Designed for electronic devices susceptible to high vibration and drop impacts, the top-mount CX90B1 series USB connector offers enhanced mounting strength to the PCB for increased durability. With a depth of only 8.15 mm, the miniature design creates additional PCB space for optimized antenna design and larger battery capacity. By comparison, conventional Type-C connectors are significantly longer, up to 9.4 mm, which consumes valuable PCB real estate.
