In the drive toward miniaturization, every millimeter of PCB space is critical. The USB 3.0 Type-A Female (AF) 90-Degree Short Body Connector by Pran Electronics Pvt. Ltd. is specifically engineered for high-performance devices with ultra-slim profiles. Featuring a specialized 13.70mm short-body depth and a high-current 3A rating, this connector delivers “SuperSpeed” 5 Gbps data transfer without the bulk of standard USB housings.

Manufactured in India to meet global export standards, this connector is the ideal choice for modern power-delivery applications and compact industrial electronics.

The 13.70mm Short Body Advantage

Standard USB 3.0 connectors often feature body lengths of 15mm to 18mm. The 13.70mm ultra-short profile of the Pran Electronics AF connector provides a distinct edge for hardware designers:

• Compact Footprint: The reduced 13.70mm depth allows for tighter component placement on the PCB, making it perfect for slimline laptops, portable SSDs, and handheld industrial tools.

• Enhanced 3.0A Current Rating: Unlike standard USB ports rated for 900mA, this reinforced version supports up to 3 Amperes, making it compatible with fast-charging protocols and high-power peripherals.

• SuperSpeed Data (5 Gbps): Fully compliant with USB 3.0 (USB 3.2 Gen 1) standards, providing 10x the speed of USB 2.0 for rapid data synchronization.

• 90-Degree Right-Angle Mounting: Optimized for side-entry access, allowing the cable to plug in parallel to the board, which is essential for low-profile chassis.

Key Features & Technical Excellence

• 9-Pin SuperSpeed Interface: Includes the 5 additional high-speed pins required for USB 3.0, while maintaining full backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and 1.1 cables.

• Robust 3A Power Delivery: Specifically designed with thicker contact materials to handle higher current (3A) without overheating, ideal for Power Delivery (PD) applications.

• High-Visibility Blue Insulator: Adheres to the global color-coding standard for USB 3.0, ensuring immediate identification of the high-speed port.

• Full EMI/RFI Shielding: Encased in a high-quality nickel-plated shell with grounding tabs to suppress high-frequency noise and maintain signal integrity.

• Industrial Durability: Features selective gold plating over nickel on contacts to prevent oxidation and ensure a long lifespan of over 5,000 mating cycles.

• High-Temp LCP Housing: Molded from UL 94V-0 rated Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), ensuring the connector can withstand professional reflow and wave soldering temperatures.
