For high-speed data and reliable power supply: Rutronik offers USB Type-C connectors from Molex for industrial and consumer applications

05/28/2025 Product News

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 5.0 A and power delivery of up to 100 W – ideal 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 www.rutronik24.com.

 

Thanks 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. 

 

Benefits at a glance:

  • USB4-compatible: data transfer rates up to 40 Gbit/s
  • Power delivery capable: Up to 100 W charging power (5.0 A / 20 V)
  • 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
