Stan's Notebook: Hold Your USB Connections Together

The world is fast adopting USB as a useful, cost-effective connectivity tool. But, one issue slowing acceptance is the connector itself. Without a strong retention mechanism, USB has been deemed inadequate for many industrial applications. Manufacturers have responded with proprietary connectors or cables featuring a custom thumbscrew. While this attempts to address the problem, it adds cost and size. Worse yet, it requires the purchase of a custom USB cable that you certainly won’t find at your local electronics store when stuck on a job site.

Here at B&B Electronics we’ve got a more elegant solution. On most products we are incorporating a high-retention Type B USB connector. This interface meets Class1Div2 minimum withdrawal requirements of 15 N. You can rest assured that your USB connections will hold together in those demanding applications!
