Bidirectional USB Type-C connectors for the 3.1 standard will be increasingly used in industry and consumer applications thanks to their high-quality manufacturing process. They feature improved shielding and a contact surface with a higher-quality coating.
The horizontal USB Type-C connector meets the 10,000 connection cycles required by the USB standard and can be plugged in at any angle. It has a dielectric strength of up to 100 V and a contact resistance of up to 30 mΩ.
As an alternative use, USB 3.1 hardware can also be used to transfer data from other interface standards, such as HDMI, Ethernet, Thunderbolt, or DisplayPort with audio and video signals.
