The USB4155 is mid-mounted to make use of the PCB thickness within the profile of the connector. The slim 2.9mm profile offers features on the external metal case that provide EMI / RFI protection and engage with case designs to optimise strength, eliminating external forces being transmitted to the PCB solder joint.

GCT’s new edge mount USB Type-C Plug provides design engineers with greater options for docking solutions and plug-in external dongle devices. The USB4155 is mid-mounted to make the best use of the PCB thickness within the profile of the connector.

GCT, manufacturer of innovative electronic interconnect solutions, has announced a Global Distribution agreement with Mouser Electronics, the New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components. 

Ionex hs announced that it now offers USB Type-C connectors for charging applications. USB4125 and USB4130 are the latest additions to the range and feature a six-contact configuration, making them GCT's most cost-effective solution to date with a Type-C interface. The USB4130 is also a vertical product, one of many USB innovations that GCT has introduced to the market.

GCT’s USB4120 has been introduced as part of the ionex USB Type C range. As a vertical mount connector, it has a very low profile at just 6.5mm high on the PCB. The USB4120 is a new addition to the GCT USB line up and gives customers greater choice and flexibility in designs.

GCT has launched two USB A connectors with extended mating cycles and enhanced current rating over standard products. The USB1130 and USB1135 are the latest additions to the USB range and are perfect for fast charging and high traffic applications.

To meet increasing demand for compact designs, GCT has launched a short body USB A connector with a minimal PCB footprint of just 131mm².

For many premium consumer electronic devices, adoption of the latest connectors is essential. These devices must perform at their very best and have very little in the way of compromise, providing the users with a product that justifies the associated price tag. Specifically, in the high end headphone market, GCT has seen the migration from Micro USB to Type-C move very quickly.

The USB1086 ultra-high mating cycle USB Type A connector is extremely durable with an industry leading 20,000+ mating cycles, well suited for ‘high traffic’ applications.

The USB4151 USB type-C plug has high integrity when mounted considering its small PCB footprint. The connector is reinforced with five shell stakes in addition to two locating pegs, a critical requirement when designing equipment for charging and docking applications.

GCT's range of FFC and FPC connectors is designed to meet the cost-conscious demands of a user's design. The refreshed product range has been developed to accommodate a wide variety of applications at a competitive price point.

The GCT ionex range provides the fast charging capabilities of USB Type-C at a cost effective price point. For applications where charging is the primary function for a USB connection, the ionex range truly makes Type-C a real option over other popular USB types.

The aquanex waterproof connector range is part of a new product line from GCT, which aims to bring together high-performance USB connectors with excellent IP rated sealing. The first connector launched from the aquanex range, the USB3500, is a horizontal mid-plane mounted micro USB connector sealed to IP67.
