Wurth's WR-COM series also offers connectors compatible with USB 3.1.
USB 3.1 requires a maximum data transfer rate of 10Gbps and a power supply of 20V/5A.
Furthermore, the size of the connector has been reduced to the same size as a conventional micro USB connector, requiring not only "communication quality" and "durability" but also "microfabrication technology".
Wurth's WR-COM series includes not only "Type-A plugs" that can withstand a minimum of 5,000 insertions and removals, but also "Type-C plugs" that can withstand a minimum of 10,000 insertions and removals. You can choose the most suitable product lineup according to your application.
The WR-COM series has three major features.
1. Extensive line-up for all kinds of solutions
A variety of lineups are available for each application, allowing you to select the most suitable product for your development application.
Four types are described here.
- Type-A USB 3.1 Standard-A type
- Type-C USB 3.1 SMT (surface mount) type
- Type-C USB 3.1 SMT (surface mount) type
- Cables USB 3.1 CAB Assemblies
2. Stable communication quality and smooth large-capacity data larger than high-definition size!
The WR-COM series not only supports high-speed communication with a maximum data transmission speed of 10Gbps, but also supports a large current of 20V/5A. Therefore, it is possible to support 4K display with a single USB Type-C cable.
Wurth's WR-COM series enables large-capacity data transfer with stable communication quality.
3. "Durability" that can withstand plugging and unplugging
Wurth's WR-COM series includes not only the "Type-A plug" that can withstand at least 5,000 insertions and removals, but also the "Type-C plug" that can withstand at least 10,000 insertions.
Durability is the most important factor for USB, which is frequently plugged and unplugged.
Explaining four product series that support USB 3.1
1. Type-A USB 3.1 Standard-A type
The Type-A connector has almost the same shape as USB 2.0. USB 3.0 and later are characterized by the fact that the internal resin is often blue to distinguish them.
Type-A is a connector mainly used for host devices such as desktop PCs, notebook PCs and media players.
It has a "durability" that can withstand at least 5,000 insertions and removals, making it ideal for desktop PCs and notebook PCs that are frequently inserted and removed.
2. Type-C USB 3.1 THR (through hole reflow) type
Type-C THR (Through-Hole Reflow) connector is a type that is mounted by inserting it into a through-hole on the board.
This board connector is used to prevent solder shortage during reflow.
It is useful when there is an area for placing through holes on the board.
It is "durable" to withstand at least 10,000 insertions and removals, making it ideal for laptops, smartphones, and peripherals that are frequently inserted and removed.
3. Type-C USB 3.1 SMT (surface mount) type
Type-C USB 3.1 SMT (surface mount) type is a type of connector that solders (mounts) parts directly to the board.
Compared to the THR type, which fixes the leads (legs) of electronic components to through-holes, it takes up less space.
It is "durable" to withstand at least 10,000 insertions and removals, making it ideal for laptops, smartphones, and peripherals that are frequently inserted and removed.
4. Cable USB 3.1 CAB Assemblies
Cable USB 3.1 CAB Assemblies are cables that support high-speed communication with a maximum data transmission rate of 10Gbps. Also, since USB 3.1 can supply a large amount of power at 20V/5A, it is important to choose a high-quality cable.
Application example
- industrial PC
- embedded board
- desktop computer
- Peripherals such as cameras and camcorders
