Designed to provide improved PCB design flexibility, suppress noise from data and power lines, and deliver reliable ESD protection, Elec & Eltek's high-speed USB 2.0 Type A filter connectors are now available from Luso Electronics.
Developed to protect sensitive semiconductor components from damage due to cable discharge events (CDEs), the jack offers developers a drop-in replacement for existing USB 2.0 connectors, integrating the Filter and ESD protection, this reduces the board space required without a costly redesign.
Particularly useful for highly-advanced audio, video and data transmission products, the MD-R0124F filter connectors are seen as ideal alternatives to standard USB 2.0 Type A connectors where better ESD protection (complying with IEC61000-4-2 specification) and elimination of signal interference is required while ensuring high data speed data transfer of up to 480 MBit/s.
With phosphor bronze contacts and gold plating and shield material made from brass with nickel-plating, the MD-R0124F has an operating temperature range of -40C to +85C, and is ideal for commercial and industrial USB applications, says the company.
"Luso is delighted to make Elec & Eltek's USB2.0 filter connectors more widely available to customers in Europe. ESD protection is a critical component of electronics design given it only takes one ESD strike to permanently damage a product. Electromagnetic interference is another challenge often faced by designers so jacks that can also eliminate noise and maintain signal integrity are also growing in popularity," said Andy Eden, Luso Electronics.
