USB 3.1 Type-A Connector

Product Description

The USB 3.1 Type-A connector is a high-performance USB Type A interface designed for stable, high-speed data transmission in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics applications. This Type A connector adopts a vertical 180° DIP structure with straight pins, supporting up to 5Gbps data transfer, making it ideal for modern devices requiring reliable USB connectivity.

Unlike USB C 3.1, which features reversible insertion, this USB Type A solution provides mechanical robustness and wide compatibility with legacy and next-generation systems. It is commonly used together with USB-C to USB-A cables, USB 3.1 adapters, and conversion solutions such as USB 3.1 Gen 1 to USB C and USB 3.1 Gen 2 to USB C interfaces.

The no-rolled-edge housing design simplifies PCB assembly, while wave soldering ensures excellent durability in high-vibration and harsh environments.

Product Operating Principle

This USB 3.1 Type-A connector uses a vertical 180° DIP mounting configuration, enabling straight-pin signal transmission directly to the PCB. High-speed differential pairs support USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5Gbps) data rates with low signal loss.

The robust mechanical structure ensures stable contact during vibration, making it suitable for automotive diagnostic ports and industrial control systems. The connector supports seamless interaction with USB C to USB A cables and various USB 3.1 adapters, enabling flexible system integration.
