In the realm of industrial and professional peripheral connectivity, the USB Type-B interface is synonymous with stability and secure data transmission. The USB 2.0 Type-B Female (BF) 90-Degree 16mm Connector by Pran Electronics Pvt. Ltd. is a robust, right-angle PCB-mounted solution designed for maximum durability.
Featuring a standardized 16mm body length, this connector is engineered to provide a secure, high-retention interface for printers, industrial machinery, and medical equipment where accidental cable disconnection must be avoided.
Built for Industrial Durability and Secure Retention
The Type-B interface is the preferred choice for stationary hardware due to its square, high-strength profile. This 16mm 90-degree version from Pran Electronics offers several design advantages:
-
High-Retention Force: Unlike the slimmer Type-A, the Type-B female interface offers a larger mechanical “grip,” ensuring that cables stay firmly seated even in high-vibration environments like factory floors or moving diagnostic carts.
-
16mm Standardized Depth: The 16mm body length provides an ideal mechanical balance, allowing for a deep, stable connection while fitting standard enclosure cutouts for industrial peripherals.
-
Right-Angle (90-Degree) PCB Mounting: The side-entry design allows the USB cable to be plugged in parallel to the PCB, which is essential for low-profile rack-mount equipment or devices with rear-facing interface panels.
-
Heavy-Duty PCB Anchorage: Equipped with four sturdy Through-Hole (THT) solder pins and two robust metal shielding tabs, this connector is designed to withstand the high insertion and withdrawal forces characteristic of Type-B cables.
Key Features & Technical Specs
-
USB 2.0 High-Speed Support: Fully compliant with USB 2.0 specifications, supporting reliable data transfer rates of up to 480 Mbps.
-
Full Metal Shielding: Encased in a high-quality nickel-plated brass or steel shell for 360 degree Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) protection, ensuring data integrity in electronically noisy environments.
-
Premium Contact Plating: Contacts are selectively gold-plated over nickel, providing low electrical resistance and excellent protection against corrosion over long-term use.
-
Industrial-Grade Housing: Molded from UL 94V-0 rated high-temperature thermoplastic, ensuring the connector remains stable during professional wave soldering and operates reliably in high-heat industrial settings.
-
Make in India: Manufactured by Pran Electronics Pvt. Ltd., providing world-class quality with the logistical benefits of a localized Indian supply chain.
