Molex USB-C connectors and cable assemblies

Molex’s latest USB-C connectors and cable assemblies target a wide range of electronics applications in consumer markets as well as automation and control systems, automotive and telecoms and data communications sectors.

USB-C is the next-generation USB connector standard. Designed to be multifunction devices, USB-C connectors are able to perform different roles depending on the application. They can work as standard USB connectors, allowing peripheral devices such as cameras, printers, keyboards or mice to be connected to PCs, tablets or mobile phones. They will also perform as power or video connectors, being compatible with the latest 4K Ultra HD television systems.

USB-C is compatible with the latest USB 3.1 protocol and transmits signals at a higher speed than previous versions of USB. The connectors are small, lightweight and reversible, which makes them easy to use.

USB-C connectors and cable assemblies will allow USB-C devices to interface with legacy USB connectors that use USB 2.0 and USB 3.1 protocols and, following approval, the Lightning connector used in the latest generation of iPhones. The products include: USB 2.0 and 3.1 cable assembly (USB-C to USB-A); USB 3.1 cable assembly (USB-C to USB-C); and right-angle, PCB-mount, USB-C connector plugs and sockets.
