DIP USB Connector

The DIP USB connector is a compact, dual-in-line package (DIP) USB interface designed for easy PCB mounting. It features a standardized USB pinout, ensuring compatibility with USB 2.0 or 3.0 protocols. The connector's DIP design allows for straightforward soldering onto circuit boards, making it ideal for embedded systems, DIY electronics, and industrial applications. With its robust construction, it provides reliable data transfer and power delivery. Available in various configurations (Type-A, Type-B, Micro-USB, etc.), it suits diverse connectivity needs. Its space-saving form factor and cost-effectiveness make it a popular choice for hardware developers.

Features

1. Dual-Row Pin Configuration for High-Density Layouts
The DIP USB connector features a dual-row pin arrangement (2xN configuration), typically with a pitch of 2.54mm between pins. This design supports 8-24 contact points (4-12 pins per row) while maintaining a compact footprint of 15.24mm x 7.62mm (standard DIP-16 size). The staggered pinout reduces crosstalk to below -30dB at 480Mbps (USB 2.0 speeds), with each contact rated for 1.8A continuous current at 5V DC.

2. Through-Hole Mounting with 0.1" Standard Spacing
Engineered for PCB through-hole mounting, the connector utilizes industry-standard 0.1" (2.54mm) pin spacing compatible with breadboards and prototype boards. The 3.3mm diameter plated through-holes accommodate 0.5-0.8mm lead diameters, with solder tails extending 3.2mm below the board surface. The 94V-0 flame-retardant housing withstands wave soldering at 260°C for up to 10 seconds without deformation.

3. USB 2.0 Compliance with 480Mbps Data Rate
The connector meets USB 2.0 specifications with differential impedance of 90Ω ±15% for D+ and D- lines. It maintains signal integrity with<3% insertion="" loss="" at="" 500mhz="" and="" contact="" resistance="" below="" 30m="">60dB EMI suppression across the 30MHz-1GHz spectrum, critical for high-speed data transmission in industrial environments.

4. Reinforced Strain Relief for Mechanical Stability
Featuring an integrated strain relief mechanism with 6kN/m² tensile strength, the connector withstands 5,000 insertion cycles without degradation. The overmolded cable exit provides 180° bend radius protection for 28-22AWG cables, with a pull force rating of 50N minimum. The zinc alloy mounting clips offer 15lb/in² board retention force.

5. Gold-Plated Contacts for Enhanced Reliability
The connector employs 30μ" gold plating over 100μ" nickel underplating on contacts, achieving<10mω 10="" contact="" resistance="" after="">

6. Polarized Design with 0.5mm Keying Tolerance
The asymmetric housing design incorporates a polarization key with ±0.5mm positional tolerance to prevent incorrect mating. The 6.5mm guide posts provide 2.5° angular misalignment compensation during insertion, while the 1.5mm recessed contacts prevent shorting during blind mating. The design meets IP20 protection standards against finger contact.

Applications

Embedded Systems and Microcontroller Development Boards

DIP USB connectors are widely used in embedded systems where USB communication is required for programming, data transfer, or device control. Their through-hole design makes them easy to integrate into development boards like Arduino-compatible kits or custom prototyping PCBs.

Consumer Electronics Prototyping

For DIY electronics and rapid prototyping of consumer products, DIP USB connectors offer a reliable and solder-friendly solution. From USB-powered LED gadgets to audio interfaces, the DIP format ensures stable mounting during frequent testing cycles.

Industrial Control Boards

In harsh or vibration-heavy industrial environments, the sturdy soldered design of a DIP USB connector provides mechanical strength, making it ideal for use in control panels, PLCs, and sensor communication modules.

Educational Electronic Kits

Many educational training boards and soldering practice kits use DIP USB connectors because they are easy for beginners to install and understand. They provide both practical soldering experience and real USB functionality.

Medical and Laboratory Equipment Interfaces

For compact, low-speed communication in diagnostic or lab instruments, DIP USB connectors are often used to facilitate firmware updates, USB data logging, or PC connectivity, especially in low-volume custom equipment builds.

Tesla BMS Modules for Canbus Data Port USB Connector's Product Operating Principle

The ultra-short DIP structure reduces PCB frontage by 45% vs standard connectors, while wave-soldered through-hole pins maintain signal integrity during 20m/s² shock impacts. Shielded housing with copper-alloy layers suppresses EMI by 38dB at 200MHz. Precisely angled contacts enable blind mating within ±1.5mm tolerance.
