GCT (Global Connector Technology) USB Type-C Connector Solutions

Global Connector Technology (GCT) USB Type-C Connector Solutions are robust and improved I/O interconnect systems with new functionality and increased performance. The USB Type-C connectors feature a reversible mating form factor with up to 10Gbps transfer rates and a 5A max power rating. The connectors operate over 10,000 mating cycles for reliable performance and power delivery. The standard USB Type-C connector has 24 contacts, though other versions offer fewer contacts, like GCT ionex® Type-C with 16 contacts. The GCT USB Type-C Connectors meet USB3.2 specifications, which offer enhanced SuperSpeed+ data transfer modes of up to 20Gbps. The USB Type-C connectors are ideal for users searching for improved technological performance in electronic applications, including tablets, laptops, flash drives, phones, and mobile devices.
