Rutronik offers USB Type-C connectors from Molex for industrial and consumer applications
With USB Type-C connectors from Molex, Rutronik offers future-proof interface solutions for industrial and consumer electronics applications. The connectors support data rates of up to 40 Gbit/s (USB4), currents of up to 5.0 A and power delivery of up to 100 W – ideal for applications with high power requirements and limited space, such as portable medical devices, industrial electronics, AR / VR systems and smart home appliances. The Molex connector portfolio is available at www.rutronik24.com.
Thanks to their compact design, IPX8-certified variants and high mechanical robustness (up to 10,000 mating cycles), the components are particularly suitable for applications where reliability and continuous operation are key. Various mounting options – including vertical, top and mid-mount versions – offer maximum design flexibility in a small space.
