USB 3.0 SuperSpeed connectors

Mouser Electronics has announced the availability of the USB 3.0 SuperSpeed connectors from Amphenol. The connectors are fully compliant with the USB 2.0 and 3.0 specifications and offer a high transfer speed with 5Gbit/s signaling rate and a 10x performance increase over Hi-Speed USB capabilities, while maintaining backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 devices. The improvements to the new connectors provide a solution for advanced peripherals that require more power and improved interaction between devices and the host computer by providing more power when needed and less power when not needed. Mouser’s stock of Amphenol’s USB 3.0 includes Type A, Type B, and Micro-B connectors that provide full metal shielding for EMI, RFI, and ESD protection. These USB 3.0 connectors are suitable for improving the performance of external hard drives, high resolution webcams, video surveillance, and Blu-ray drives.
