L-com, Inc. has added panel-mount USB connectors with PCB solder tails. The new connectors, which come in either USB 2.0 Type A Female or USB 2.0 Type B Female, are being sold in packages of 10.
PCB connectors normally just rest on the board and can't be locked down. L-com's unique design allows an easy and permanent method to provide stability by adding two flanges to the USB connectors. The new connectors mount with standard 4-40 screws and use 30 microinch gold plated contacts to insure many mating cycles.
The new connectors are stocked in the USA for same-day shipment, and 2-D engineering drawings and 3-D CAD models are available for free download from L-com's website.
