Offering 2.3mm leads suitable for 1.6mm PCB thickness, the A/B type Micro USB connectors has been announced by Global Connector Technology. The thru hole connectors build on the popularity of the existing range the connectors were developed for customers using thicker PCB's who found the 1.5mm shell stake and lead length too short for 1.6mm thick printed circuit boards. 

Utilising all of its engineering skills and in response to this challenge GCT developed USB3106 B type & USB3131 A/B type with 2.3mm leads and stakes, perfect for use in applications with thicker PCB's.

GCT's vertical USB range is now the broadest in the market, with numerous design options, including SMT and thru hole, variable lead and shell stake lengths and optional extra stability mounting types. Vertical micro USB is chosen in designs where horizontal connectors don't meet customer’s design requirements; examples of diverse applications are smart watches, electronics bracelets, sports headgear, consumer electronics, wearable electronics, robotics and home automation. 

To speed up design downloadable drawings, 3D models and specifications are available from the GCT website.  All parts are in stock in your local GCT office and available through distribution channels for next day sampling.
