Heilind Electronics, the largest distributor of Molex products in the U.S.A., is now stocking Molex USB Type-C shielded I/O connectors and cable assemblies.
The more compact design of the Type-C connector offers greater PCB savings, while allowing high-frequency mating in data, consumer, automotive, and industrial I/O applications.
Molex USB Type-C connectors support up to 5.0A of power, reducing battery-charging time by 64% when compared to micro-USB 2.0 models.
Type-C receptacles have a tongued design to help prevent damage, while the high-temperature nylon insert-mold receptacle housing prevents potential shorting. Plugs feature protective mylar between the housing and shell, as well as a high normal force terminal design to stabilize electrical performance.
