Speaker: Fabian Altenbrunn | Duration: appax. 45 min incl. Q&A USB-C now offers different connector variants from USB 2.0 in a Type-C casing to Type-C for 10 GBit data rates. The housing variants have also become more diverse. From the horizontal hybrid type over vertical variants to the mid-mount type, which is placed in a PCB cutout. All these types have their special characteristics, which in many cases have to be considered already in the layout, so that a problem-free production is possible afterwards. Therefore, we would like to highlight these points and show possibilities how to deal with these issues. Also the printed circuit board itself and its production cannot be left out, since it brings certain restrictions with itself, which should be considered, in order to obtain an optimal result. Once all this has been done, it is then a matter of controlling the manufacturing process in its various steps from stencil printing to the soldering oven and optimizing the parameters so that the filigree type-C connectors can also be processed in a way suitable for series production.
