Kycon USB 3.1 Type-C mid-mount connector

Adding to the existing USB 3.1 Type-C connector line, the KUSBX-MM-CS1-B30TR mid-mount female port connector not only handles significantly faster data transfer (10 Gbits/s) than standard USB 2.0 and 3.0 products, but also minimizes the connector’s board footprint by fitting into a pc-board cut-out to offer a lower-height design solution where space is a concern. The connector is backward-compatible with USB 3.0 and 2.0.

Other key specifications include surface-mount contacts, 10K mating cycles, and a 5-A current rating for VBUS. The connectors are made with high-temperature plastic that is reflow-compatible. Pricing starts at $3.601 each in 50-piece quantities.
