Expanded USB Type C connectors line with USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 models

CUI Devices' Interconnect Group has added USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type C models to its line of USB connectors. Providing high data transfer speeds up to 20Gbps, the UJ32 family of USB Type C connectors is a more cost-effective option for designs that do not need the full capabilities of the USB4 40Gbps standard. The models also provide power capabilities up to 100W with 20V voltage ratings and 5A current ratings for faster power charging. With the EU set to make USB Type C the unified charger for mobile devices in 2024, and laptops in 2026, the company's USB Type C connectors are targeted at preserving future designs in compliance.

Housed in surface- or mid-mount SMT packages with horizontal or vertical orientations, its USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type C connectors provide gold flash contacts and operating temperature ranges from -40C to 85C. These USB Type C receptacles are reflow solder compatible with high-reliability ratings up to 10,000 mating cycles. The UJ32-C-H-G-SMT-TR-68 also carries an IP68 rating for applications dealing with harsh environments.
