USB-AM-S-F-B-TH-R - SAMTEC

USB-AM-S-F-B-TH-R Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended mating sequence for this connector?
  The recommended mating sequence is to mate the receptacle first, followed by the plug. This ensures proper alignment and prevents damage to the contacts.
• How do I ensure reliable connections in high-vibration environments?
  To ensure reliable connections in high-vibration environments, use a strain relief or a cable tie to secure the cable to the PCB or a fixed point. This reduces the stress on the connector and prevents damage to the contacts.
• What is the maximum cable size that can be used with this connector?
  The maximum cable size that can be used with this connector is 24 AWG. Using larger cables may cause damage to the connector or compromise the signal integrity.
• Can I use this connector for high-speed USB applications?
  Yes, the USB-AM-S-F-B-TH-R connector is designed to support high-speed USB applications up to 480 Mbps. However, it's essential to follow proper PCB design and layout guidelines to ensure signal integrity.
• How do I prevent moisture ingress into the connector?
  To prevent moisture ingress, apply a conformal coating to the PCB and connector, and ensure that the connector is properly sealed during the assembly process. Additionally, use a connector with a moisture-resistant design, such as the USB-AM-S-F-B-TH-R.
