Amphenol Communications Solutions supplies the FCI Basics Mini USB 2.0 connectors, which enable designers of computing and consumer equipment to reduce the space devoted to high-speed wired connectivity.
The FCI Basics Mini USB 2.0 connectors, which support a data transfer rate of up to 480 Mbits/s, take up only about one-eighth of the space that a standard USB Type-B interface occupies. They support both data-transfer and charging/power supply use cases.
The Amphenol connectors feature five circuits, with one circuit reserved for future use in host identification between devices.
Plug assembly is via a snap-in catch which provides tactile feedback on mating. A solder pad at the bottom of the shell is solderable to ensure secure mounting.
