In modern electronic architecture, vertical space utilization is often the key to achieving a compact device footprint. The USB Type-A Female 180-Degree 13mm Connector by Pran Electronics Pvt. Ltd. is a top-entry, precision-engineered solution designed for vertical PCB mounting.
With a standardized 13mm body height, this connector is optimized for hardware designs where the USB port must be accessible from the top panel of the enclosure, such as in specialized industrial controllers, testing equipment, and high-density computing modules.
Optimized for Vertical Top-Entry Connectivity
The 180-degree (Vertical) orientation provides distinct mechanical advantages for engineers looking beyond the traditional side-entry layout:
-
Minimal PCB Footprint: By mounting the connector vertically, you significantly reduce the horizontal board area occupied by the USB port, freeing up space for other critical SMT components.
-
13mm Standardized Height: The 13mm profile is ideal for stacking boards or fitting into narrow, upright enclosures where a 90-degree connector would be inaccessible.
-
Superior Mechanical Anchorage: Designed with sturdy through-hole (THT) metal solder tabs, this connector provides a deep mechanical anchor. This is crucial for 180-degree jacks, as it resists the vertical pulling and pushing forces of repetitive cable insertion.
-
Direct Top-Panel Access: Perfect for devices where the user interacts with the interface from above, such as laboratory instruments, wall-mounted gateways, or desktop charging docks.
Key Features & High-Performance Specs
-
USB 2.0 High-Speed Support: Fully compliant with USB 2.0 standards, delivering data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps and stable power delivery.
-
Premium Contact Integrity: Contacts are selectively gold-plated over nickel, ensuring a low-resistance electrical path and superior protection against oxidation in humid or industrial environments.
-
Full Metal Shielding: Encased in a nickel-plated steel or brass shell, providing full shielding against Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) to maintain data purity.
-
High-Temperature Materials: The internal housing is molded from UL 94V-0 rated high-performance thermoplastic, capable of withstanding industrial heat and professional wave soldering.
-
Make in India: Manufactured by Pran Electronics Pvt. Ltd., a trusted name for domestic and international OEMs seeking high-quality localized sourcing.
