Save space with shrinking USB connectors
The new series of mini-BTM USB connectors from Molex take up only about 1/8th of the space of standard USB-B connectors.
The new connectors have a shielded dual-row cable-to-board interface for high-speed performance and a 100ohm controlled impedance.
Applications for this product include LVDS servers, routers, switches, storage/network equipment, TMDS digital displays, portable DVI devices, automotive displays and multiple high-speed differential pair signal equipment.
The connectors' low-force Helix contact design offers reliable performance and a shallow mating angle to reduce insertion force.
The recessed contacts protect signal lines for electrostatic discharge, support mating alignment and provide added contact protection during handling.
Molex's TDP connector family is available in circuit sizes 18, 28, 38, 48 and 72 with capability of other select circuit sizes ranging from 10 to 80 circuits.
The inline SMT receptacle optimises PCB routing and the low 7.00mm profile making this connector ideal for applications where height is a major consideration.
TDP cable plugs feature jack screws for mating retention.
