USB3140-30-0230-1-C – GCT

The USB3140-30-0230-1-C, manufactured by GCT, is a Micro-B type USB 3.1 Gen 1 receptacle designed for vertical surface-mount termination. This connector features a 30 microinch (0.76µm) gold plating on the contacts within the mating area, ensuring optimal signal integrity and corrosion resistance during repeated insertion cycles. The vertical orientation minimizes the connector’s footprint on the PCB, facilitating high-density board layouts. Intended for reflow soldering processes, the connector body is constructed from high-temperature thermoplastic, withstanding typical SMT assembly temperatures. The design incorporates robust mechanical features to ensure secure retention to the PCB and withstand the stresses associated with cable mating and unmating. This connector is suitable for applications requiring a compact and reliable USB 3.1 interface, such as portable devices, embedded systems, and industrial equipment.
