In the era of high-speed data transfer and high-definition media, standard USB 2.0 often falls short. The USB 3.0 Type-A Female (AF) 90-Degree Connector by Pran Electronics Pvt. Ltd. is engineered to provide “SuperSpeed” connectivity for modern hardware. This right-angle, PCB-mounted connector is designed for OEMs and engineers who require the 5 Gbps bandwidth of USB 3.0 in a robust, space-saving format.

Manufactured in India, this connector meets the rigorous mechanical and electrical demands of professional computing, industrial automation, and high-speed data logging.

SuperSpeed Performance for Next-Gen Hardware

The USB 3.0 (USB 3.2 Gen 1) architecture introduces significant upgrades over previous generations. The Pran Electronics 90-degree AF connector is built to leverage these advancements:

  • 5 Gbps Data Transfer: Supports “SuperSpeed” data rates, making it 10x faster than USB 2.0. It is ideal for transferring large files, high-resolution video streams, and real-time sensor data.

  • 9-Pin Architecture: Features the standard 9-pin configuration (5 additional pins for SuperSpeed data paths), while maintaining full backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices.

  • 90-Degree Right-Angle Orientation: The side-entry profile allows the USB cable to be plugged in parallel to the PCB. This is critical for 1U rack-mount servers, slimline industrial PCs, and wall-mounted devices with limited depth.

  • Enhanced Power Delivery: Built to handle higher current loads (up to 900mA), supporting power-hungry peripherals without the need for external power supplies.

Key Features & Technical Excellence

  • Advanced EMI/RFI Shielding: Wrapped in a high-quality, nickel-plated shell with multiple grounding tabs. This specialized shielding is essential for USB 3.0 to prevent high-frequency noise from interfering with wireless signals (like 2.4GHz Wi-Fi or Bluetooth).

  • Premium Blue Insulator: Features the industry-standard blue color-coding, allowing end-users to immediately identify the port as a high-speed USB 3.0 interface.

  • High-Durability Contacts: Selective gold plating over nickel on all 9 contacts ensures low resistance, maximum conductivity, and a lifespan rated for thousands of mating cycles.

  • Robust Mechanical Stability: Includes reinforced through-hole (THT) solder tabs that anchor the metal shield to the PCB, protecting the delicate signal pins from mechanical stress and leverage during cable insertion.

  • High-Temp Housing: Molded from UL 94V-0 rated thermoplastic, capable of withstanding industrial heat and professional wave/reflow soldering.
