Wurth USB 3.0 PCB Connectors and Cable Assemblies

The WR-COM connector series from Wurth is one of the first USB 3.0 connectors in the market that complies with specifications of the USB Implementers Forum. The USB 3.0 architecture allows transmission speeds up to 5 Gbits/s which are 10x faster than the previous standard. This USB 3.0 dual-bus architecture is both backwards and forward compatible (USB 3.0 devise in a 2.0 port). The benefits of using USB 3.0 are reduced transmission times and power consumption. The USB 3.0 ports are characterised by their Blue colour and will physically accept 2.0 hardware despite having more pins.
