With USB Type-C connectors from Molex, Rutronik offers future-proof interface solutions for industrial and consumer electronics applications.

The connectors support data rates of up to 40 Gbit/s (USB4), currents of up to 5.0A and power delivery of up to 100W – well suited for applications with high power requirements and limited space, such as portable medical devices, industrial electronics, AR/VR systems and smart home appliances. The Molex connector portfolio is available at the Rutronik website.

Due to their compact design, IPX8-certified variants and high mechanical robustness (up to 10,000 mating cycles), the components are particularly suitable for applications where reliability and continuous operation are key. Various mounting options – including vertical, top and mid-mount versions – offer maximum design flexibility in a small space.

Key benefits:

  • USB4-compatible: data transfer rates up to 40Gbit/s
  • Power delivery capable: Up to 100W charging power (5.0A / 20V)
  • Metal-reinforced mating area for high mating cycles (up to 10,000 mating cycles)
  • Mating force on PCB: 0
  • Mating force: 5 to 20 N
  • Unmating force: 8 to 20 N (1 to 30 cycles); 6 to 20 N (after 10,000 cycles)
  • Sockets with liquid protection according to IPX8, thanks to LSR moulding (liquid silicone rubber) ·
  • Variants with 6, 14, 16 or 24 contacts available

Application examples:

  • Portable medical devices (e.g. glucose meters, inhalers)
  • Smart home and (I)IoT components
  • AR/VR end devices and wearables
  • Industrial electronics, measuring and testing devices
  • Cash register systems and projectors
