CX70 - Mid-Mount USB Type-C Connector

CX70 - Mid-Mount USB Type-C Connector

The CX70 is a mid-mount USB 3.1 Type-C connector with an efficient design that offers a compact footprint to save valuable PCB space. Featuring a depth of only 8.35 mm, the shorter design creates additional PCB space for optimizing antenna design and allows for larger batteries capacity. By comparison, conventional Type-C connectors are significantly longer, up to 9.4 mm, which consumes valuable PCB real estate. The CX70 Series USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-C compliant interface connector supports 5 Gbps for high-speed applications.

Features

  • Type-C interface connector
  • Mid-mount & shortened length design, produces small package size
  • Hybrid PCB layout supports ease of repair
  • Ease of use, 180º plug insertion
  • USB Type-C compliant interface connector (TID no. in process)
  • USB 3.1 Gen1 (5Gbps), high speed transmission
