Molex offers a variety of USB cable assemblies, connectors, and kits

Image of Molex's USB Cable Assemblies, Connectors, and Kits Molex's USB Type-C I/O connectors are TID-certified and comply with various dimensions to help prevent costly electrical damage. High-temperature plastic as the housing material and a 3-tier insert-molding process help to ensure high mating durability. The mating tongue design protects the interconnects from possible damage caused by mishandling, shipment, or assembly processes. With 3 A and 5 A current to enable faster and safer charging, Molex offers a wide range of USB Type-C Connectors that are physically robust and electrically reliable. Many consumer and industrial applications experience wet conditions that can cause failure in connectors. USB 2.0 and Micro-B offer an IP68-rated waterproof option that withstands post-solder reflow while minimizing water ingression. With an IP68-rated waterproof option and up to 40 Gbps (USB4 Gen 4 speed), Molex offers a wide range of USB-type connectors. Industries are challenged to meet more complex design requirements, and therefore need design flexibility for their applications. Molex hybrid USB receptacles and plugs offer a wide range of options that include USB 4 Gen 3 and Gen 4, USB 3.0, USB 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2, USB 3.1, USB 2.0, USB-C, Micro USB, and Mini USB. These are all available with 4-, 5-, 6-, 9-, 14-, 16-, and 24-circuit sizes. As devices in various markets become increasingly small, manufacturers require reliable compact connectors for their designs. Micro USB connectors offer a compact connector design, reliability, and overmolded connectors for optimal space-savings.
